Ascent : Roland Smith

Roland Smith Paperback Series: A Peak Marcello Adventure YOUNG ADULT FICTION/Action & Adventure / Survival Stories * In this exciting novel from the best-selling author of Peak,  Roland Smith, Peak Marcello goes to Myanmar to climb one of the most isolated mountains in the world. After the ill-fated mountain climbing expedition in Afghanistan that led to kidnapping and murder, Peak Marcello is looking forward to a vacation in Myanmar with friend and fellow climber Alessia. When he’s invited to climb Hkakabo Razi, believed to be the highest peak in Southeast Asia, Peak can’t pass up the opportunity. But getting to the mountain will involve a four-week trek through tropical rainforests rife with hazards—from venomous reptiles and leeches to corrupt police and military. Not to mention navigating both his feelings for Alessia and his tense relationship with his famous mountain climbing father, who, as usual, may or may not have ulterior motives for reappearing in Peak’s life.  In this action-packed third installment to the critically praised Peak Marcello Adventures series by best-selling author Roland Smith, summiting Hkakabo Razi may be the easiest thing Peak does.
