| | STORY DESCRIPTION Nothing will stop Alois Anwar from reaching the last and greatest dream of his life; completing the impossible climb to the virgin summit of the highest mountain in the Toribol Galaxy. But first, he must fashion a workable team of climbers out of Ama's finest mountaineers. Can he take this talented group of deeply troubled and emotionally challenged misfits to the summit before they implode and tear each other apart?
But that's just the beginning of their troubles. How will they survive deadly parasites, period cyclones, killer Muxphoy predators, ice worms and an ongoing treachery of impassable obstacles?
This heart pumping, award winning sci fi page turner is an immersion of adventure, survival, triumph over adversity, and a masterful study of the complexities of prejudice, insecurity, fear and loneliness.
There is a reason this mountain has never been climbed, a secret tied to the deepest truth about the nature of life in the universe. | Keywords related to this title - click on a keyword to find more, related stories science fiction action adventure Author information: Kirk Pocan is an Environmental Chemist and former Research Scientist who writes adventure books, science fiction, and high tech speculative science novels.
His first book, Forbidden Summit, is an award winning mountain climbing science fiction thriller, and draws largely from his lifetime experience as a mountaineer who has scaled over fifty summits.
As a kid, he was cursed with the big questions in science, the ones with no answers. Decades later, this dilemma has forever enslaved him, forcing his hand to create compelling themes out of the complexity of life's greatest mysteries. Kingdom of the Blue Diamond, his next book, looks for the cellular origins of life on earth, introducing an impossibly captivating plot that marches the turbulent path that divides Neo-Darwinian evolution and Intelligent Design.
His latest novel follows an extreme vigilante animal rights group who hunt down abusers and then hands them a very unique punishment.
He can be found in rural Northern California, dodging Mountain Lions and Black Bears in the Cedar forests behind his home, with his wife and his blue eyed Siberian Husky.
