Versant noir
Description:
Versant Noir by Lison Lambert, a tense adventure thriller that takes you on a race against death to the summit of Everest, between vertigo and revenge. "You're going to tackle something bigger than you.", excerpt from Versant Noir. Sometimes, the mountain kills. Every year, on average, five climbers lose their lives during the ascent of Everest. Alex, twenty-five, a former ski jumping champion, and Jef, her father, a seasoned mountain guide, have enough summit experience to know this. Even though they've never yet climbed this eminence that the Nepalese call "the goddess who touches the sky." When they accept the invitation of Aniruddha—a young Sherpa who has just founded the first Nepalese commercial expedition agency—and join the rope team heading for the summit, they think they can master the elements. But on Everest, the death zone may not be what they feared. Versant noir is an IMPACT book, a collection of crime novels and thrillers reconnected to societal issues (the post-#meetoo era, new technologies, environmental issues, etc.). The book's focus: ecology, mass tourism, and adventure thrillers
