Story4.5 out of 5 stars 111
In the 1930s, as official government expeditions set their sights on conquering Mount Everest, a little-known World War I veteran named Maurice Wilson conceives his own crazy, beautiful plan: He will fly a plane from England to Everest, crash-land on its lower slopes, then become the first person to reach its summit — completely alone.

Certainly a worthwhile listen. Remarkable man, great story, well researched, written and narrated. Too much detail and background history at some points, but never dull.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Somebody who has lots of time
Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?
No
Any additional comments?
46 hours for a story that could be told in 15 hours? Ironic that there is a competent editor in the story.
