In the thin air of Everest, even reality fractures. When evolutionary biology professor Dr. Zack Hitchens loses his wife in a senseless accident, he decides to follow her dreams all the way to the roof of the world - the peak of Mount Everest. On the infernal mountain, Zack and his teammates battle sickness, whiteout conditions, avalanches, the oxygen-starved minds of other climbers - and something else. Something primitive and consumed with rage. Something seeking revenge... Something downright abominable. A pulse-pounding thriller in the tradition of The Terror and The Descent, The Yeti returns in this definitive second edition from bestselling author Douglas Corleone.
