JAMES TABOR / BLIND DESCENT
Tabor’s last book was the international award-winning Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering’s Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters.
Blind Descent is the story of the men and women who risked everything to find the deepest cave on earth, earning their place in history beside the likes of Peary, Amundsen, Hillary, and Armstrong. This new book received a starred review in Publishers Weekly: “Holds the reader to his seat, containing dangers aplenty with deadly falls, killer microbes, sudden burial, asphyxiation, claustrophobia, anxiety, and hallucinations far underneath the ground in a lightless world. Using a pulse-pounding narrative, this is tense real-life adventure pitting two master cavers mirroring the cold war with very uncommonly high stakes.”
James Tabor, the writer and on-camera host of the acclaimed national PBS series The Great Outdoors, is also co-creator and executive producer for the 2007 History Channel’s special, Journey to the Center of the World.
