       his mother refuses to believe it and pays the trio to 
       bring him home. Deep in Tibet and high on Everest, the 
       three climbers -- joined by the missing boy's female 
       cousin -- find themselves being pursued through the night 
       by someone. or something. This nightmare becomes a matter 
       of life and death at 28,000 feet - but what is pursuing 
       them? And what is the truth behind the 1924 disappearances
       on Everest? As they fight their way to the top of the 
       world, the friends uncover a secret far more abominable 
       than any mythical creature could ever be. A pulse-pounding
       story of adventure and suspense, The Abominable is Dan 
       Simmons at his spine-chilling best"--|cProvided by
