UK book launch this week!
No Way Down launched July 29 in Britain. I am talking at the Travel Book Shop in Notting Hill on Saturday, July 31 at 7pm.
New York Times Book Review
New review by the New York Times:
No Way Down “artfully and assiduously piece[s] together an account of a fractious day in brutal real time. Fatality by fatality… devastating.”
Review in the Financial Times
In No Way Down: Life and Death on K2, Graham Bowley, a former FT journalist, uses his reporter’s investigative skills to weave together an unputdownable narrative, based on hundreds of interviews and a trip to K2 base camp. … His book is a portrait of extreme courage, folly and loss, leavened by a small dose of survival, as complete a version of the calamitous story as will probably ever emerge, including the tragic account of what may be “one of the most selfless rescue attempts in the history of high-altitude mountaineering”.
The AP: “Tour de force of a book”
Great review by The Associated Press: “fascinating tour de force of a book…a triumph of storytelling.”
The Awl: “Six Minutes in Heaven”
Review: “Impossible to put down.”
BookPage says: “(t)he vivid story will captivate readers. No Way Down doesn’t just tell a harrowing adventure story. It will also make you think.”
First Review: “Thrilling and wrenching.”
Kirkus Reviews calls No Way Down “thrilling and wrenching.” Bowley “is an intrepid journalist and gifted storyteller.”
