About
Epic-a mountaineering term that evokes a sense of treacherous disaster. The climb that went wrong: fighting blinding snowstorms and horrific avalanches; days spent tentbound running low on food, water and oxygen; surviving broken bones and shattered spirits. With writing from Greg Child, David Roberts, Stephen Venables, Alfred Lansing and others, “Epic” is a collection of the most memorable accounts of legend-making expeditions to the world's most famous peaks, often in the worst possible conditions! In Rough Water, hear the stories of men and women battling the elements, and sometimes each other, to stay alive, confronting savage storms, rogue waves, icebergs, sharks, starvation and their own fear and suffering. From Sebastian Junger's “The Whale Hunter” to Herman Wouk's “The Caine Mutiny” to Lawrence Beesley's “The Loss of the S.S. Titanic”, “Rough Water” is a unique collection of the finest writing on why men and women go to sea, and what they find there!
