Nine wholesome university students mountaineering in the Urals go missing, and are later uncovered from the snows of a bleak forest's edge in the Siberian Taiga, in a series of grisly discoveries. Why were the climbers wearing no boots? Why were stout branches of the forest pines singed to a height of 30 feet? What were the mysterious markings in the bark of nearby trees? What was so-called "overwhelming force" that was capable of breaking eight ribs in a single blow without bruises? Why had the KGB infiltrated all the search parties and attended the funerals? Why were the clothes were tested for radiation?
The savage events of February 1, 1959, which took nine lives and left a trail of smashed and semi-naked bodies across the slopes of Mount Ortoten, have confounded every credible explanation. Wild and convincing theories abound. All of them are flawed by the facts. Was it sex? Was it hypothermia? Was it robbers?
In the first reportage to be published in the English language, the Moscow Times's meticulous coverage presented the existing versions that have proliferated over 50 years, carefully sifting each idea, from mad guesses by superstitious nuts to reasoned findings of the official investigation.

Best book covering this topic yet

The book itself is not too bad - low on author's baseless speculation or personal opinions, unlike majority of other media offerings on this subject. Most prominent versions of events are covered well, there is even a resulting semblance of objectivity, considering how scarce actual hard facts are in this case.
There are a few errors that look like translation mistakes, which is very odd for an author who made a career out of writing in English for English-speaking audiences. "Rare birch forest" is actually thin birch forest - obvious direct translation from Russian "редкий" without adjusting for context. "Ледоруб" becomes an ice pick, when it is clearly an ice axe.
Some segments end so abruptly without wrap-up, a few times I thought pieces were missing from recording, and weak narration does not help navigate such lackluster transitions.
Overall, the book could use a once-over from an editor, but it's a good comprehensive read on the incident and theories around it. For the audiobook vetsion to be passable (and worth paying anything for), it needs better narration: this one, while done by a cleary skillful, if not particularly inspired voice actress, is simply too lazily done and frankly annoying, it just ruins the experience instead of elevating it.
Insufferable narration
