An amazing multimedia experience
This book richly details an amazing journey from Alaska to Patagonia. The descriptive narrative and the multitude of photos and videos drew me into the adventure, allowing me to experience the journey as if I was an active participant. I was overwhelmed by the beauty and the diversity of the landscapes experienced by the author as he traveled through North, Central and South America. The author also provided a fascinating insight into the different peoples and cultures encountered as well as the complexities and triumphs of cycling and mountaineering. I highly recommend this book. It is the most exciting trip to unique locales that most armchair tourists will never venture!
Fantastic Read, an adventure for all!
I have followed Thomas' adventure from his website for the past few years. This book has done his incredible adventure justice.
This is truly a must read, and the Panamerican Peaks project is certainly one that is absolutely amazing.
I especially love the organization, concisely packaged into sections that highlight the excitement and challenge of the numerous stages of the adventure.
You will read this book straight through to the end. Don't forget to watch the videos, Thomas takes you along for the ride as he summits mountains and much, much more.
