In the years immediately following World War I, a young anthropologist named Jesse O'Keefe ventures into the Andean backwoods to find a culture worthy of study. There he stumbles upon the Rixtirra, a complex society fixated on locating a legendary Mountain Made of Light that these people believe offers a sanctuary from the modern world. Jesse soon finds himself caught up in this culture's political and religious machinations and, worse yet, in conflict with Forster Beckwith--an aristocratic interloper whose presence further endangers Jesse's life. The ensuing adventures have prompted some reviewers to call this book "the thinking person's Indiana Jones"--a breathtaking "lost race" novel that is also an allegory about the inner journey toward what matters most.

After a back-road car accident in the Colorado Rockies seriously injures their parents, athletic fourteen-year-old Danielle and her brainy younger brother, Jake, set out together to find help.

The teens decide instead to make a more audacious move: climbing a mountain that Jake believes is nearby and that has a manned weather station at its summit. As they head upward, Danielle and Jake soon realize that they've taken an all-or-nothing gamble: they must climb . . . or die.
