Summary

On planet Eno, there stands a mountain that has never been summited. Many have tried. All have failed. This climbing season finds three teams making their bid up this murderous peak. And one man among them will discover these ugly truths: There are fates worse than death. There are fates worse than obscurity. To be remembered forever can be its own curse.

Editor reviews

Jonathan Davis is the perfect narrator for the main character of this audiobook, a man dead set on fame and glory. Davis narrates the protagonist's dark thoughts with harsh cadences that jut out of a usually cold and deadpan voice. The Walk up Nameless Ridge is a science fiction, set on the remote planet Eno, where a mountain twice the height of Everest remains to be climbed. Listeners will be on the edge of their seats as our protagonist's insatiable appetite for stardom lets him stop at nothing - not even murder - to conquer this mountain. The audiobook is both a gripping adventure and an acute look at what kind of evil men are capable of.

Profile Image for Norma Miles

"Up, always up."

A mountain on Eno, the highest and never yet climbed, has only a tiny window when it is possible to attempt to reach the top. Two teams, each of two men, are climbing, driven on by the need to be the first when so many have failed befure
Beautifully written by Howey and expressively performed by Jonathan Davis. Short but intense, and recommended.
