Description

On New Year's Eve 2004, Ken Jones found himself in a desperate situation while attempting to climb Moldoveanu, Romania's highest peak. A horrific avalanche swept him down the mountain, leaving him with severe injuries and no way of calling for help.

Over the next four freezing days and nights, Jones dragged himself through the snowy wilderness, battling extreme pain, biting cold, and his own mental struggles between hope and despair. This harrowing account is a gripping and psychologically compelling true story of survival against all odds.

This book is a heart-stopping and intense portrayal of one man's fight for life in the face of unimaginable adversity.
