The story: Peak and his mom have joined the international Climb for Peace in Afghanistan when things take a distinctly warlike turn: his mom and the other members of the team are kidnapped, and now it's up to Peak and his ex-Marine companion to track them and stage a rescue. One the downside: the bad guys have all the gear, all the radios, and both the getaway boats. On the upside, Peak has Zopa on his team, and very strange things seem to happen when the old Sherpa is in the mix. Add in a mysterious snow leopard, and maybe the good guys aren't as doomed as they seem...
June Cleaver's ratings: Language PG; Violence PG-13 (cutting of throats and other murderous behaviors, but not graphically described); Sexual content G; Nudity G; Substance abuse PG; Magic & the occult G; adult themes (terrorism and kidnapping) PG-13; overall rating PG-13.
Liz's comments: It's not necessary to read the first book, PEAK, before reading this one, but it doesn't hurt either. Roland Smith is a great author of adventure stories, and I like this series all the better because it doesn't have a weird magical subplot (unlike his IQ books).
