The Tenth Avatar — Gary Naiman
World War II's most important battle was fought on a mountain three months before the war began . . .
It is 1939 - An unmarked aircraft has crashed on a Far Eastern mountain, its wreckage scattered on a 23,000 foot ridge. With the world at the brink of war, four strangers are drawn to that mountain by mysterious interconnected events. The Spanish missionary flees his nation's civil war. The Indian mystic scours the Himalaya for his sister's murderers. The American reporter tracks the Nazi document that killed her journalist husband. The British mountaineer craves a final shot at the peak that disgraced him. Driven by their demons and a desperate MI-6 spy, they converge on Mt. Kanchenjunga, unaware that two flights of Japanese imperial marines are closing from the east with orders to retrieve the aircraft's precious cargo at all costs for it will determine the victor of a war not yet started.
Samplings of Amazon Verified Purchase Reviews:
A good World War II epic with settings in Civil War Spain, depression America, and the Far East. The plot and theme are unique and best not revealed. I recommend it for the serious reader." (AC)
"The author creates a story apart from any I have read. Well done and leaves one thirsting for the conclusion." (JR)
"Far more than fiction with so much historical accuracy in its backdrop. I look forward to reading the second book." (LM)
"The characters and their destinations took me to places I have been, and to places I have never gone. The book contains many subplots, but to see it all come together was pure magic." (JS)
