"Listen & Live's Adrenaline Series is one of the best in the genre". - The Denver Post

Year after year, climbers return to the world's most difficult mountains. At these places, even the most cautious climber is vulnerable to mistakes, bad weather and bad luck, which often leads to death. This collection offers harrowing accounts of extreme mountaineering and its potentially fatal consequences.

Ideal for the armchair traveler

I've always been a fan of travel writing and climbing books and so was keen to listen to this anthology of climbing stories. I was certainly not disappointed. The quality of writing is of the highest standard and the choice of readers used is first-class. If you are a climber or enjoy reading about climbing expeditions you are sure to enjoy this well produced audio anthology.

Audio books really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture, they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time.

Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want.

Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again.
