| From the New York Times bestselling author of The Reckoning and Year ZeroOn the vast, sunlit walls of the world''s greatest monolith, two veteran climbers unwittingly ascend into a vertical underworld. In a place where obsession kills, they quickly fall prey to past loves, old demons, and ghostly revenge. "A superbly original thriller."-Dan Brown on Year Zero |
Annotation:
Thriller-writer Jeff Long once again mines his experiences as a mountain-climber for this literal cliffhanger. Hugh Glass and Lewis Cole attempt to recapture the golden days of 35 years ago, when, accompanied by their future wives, they ascended the intimidating rock face of Yosemite's El Capitan. But just as their marriages were doomed (Hugh's mentally unbalanced wife disappeared into the desert and Lewis faces an imminent divorce), so too is this climb, which begins with Hugh's witnessing a woman's body plummeting past him to the ground.

Kirkus Reviews
"Heart-stopping vertical adventure." 11/15/2005 Publishers Weekly
"[An] atmospheric, aggressive thriller....Long casts the dramatic natural setting as a major player in the story and imparts fascinating facts about the art of rock-climbing....[A] hurtling, gripping read." (starred review) 11/07/2005 Entertainment Weekly
"...Long delivers a palpable sense of the Zen-like concentration and hand-straining physicality needed to conquer a big hunk of rock. A bravura, chapter-long description of a forest fire and the truly shocking ending help to elevate THE WALL far above an increasingly high pile of pedestrian thrillers." - Gilbert Cruz 02/03/2006
