Publisher's summary

In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened. This gripping work of literary nonfiction delves into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers' own journals and photographs, rarely seen government records, dozens of interviews, and the author's retracing of the hikers' fateful journey in the Russian winter. A fascinating portrait of the young hikers in the Soviet era, and a skillful interweaving of the hikers narrative, the investigators' efforts, and the author's investigations, here for the first time is the real story of what happened that night on Dead Mountain.

Dyatlov Pass Just Gets Scarier and Scarier

Not sure I can agree with the author's conclusions, but this story told so well told that this worrisome tale of tragedy becomes evermore a horror story. With each new paragraph, you know you're moving toward catastrophe, but you just can't stop.

Chilling adventure

A challenging student adventure gone wrong... Several reviewers commented that they were disappointed by the author's final explanation. I found it fascinating-- a scenario developed by looking beyond existing theories with fresh eyes

Dead Mountain

I've have always an interest in this case. I like how every angle is looked at , love this book great read

Good story

I'm not a huge fan of the narration,it sounded unprofessional, but I enjoyed the story!

Great book!

I have never heard the story of these hikers. Very interesting from start to finish.

Should have invested in a narrator

It’s a fascinating and well researched story- it’s incredible how much the author was able to research in person. I wish he had invested in a narrator. He reads it himself and it’s like he’s reading a grocery list- it’s awful.

Dead Mountain

Extremely interesting story and very well researched. The narrative can be distracting at times, but the story is good enough to over look the bland narrator

Fantastic but believable.

I have read other analyses of the deaths of the nine hikers/skiers in the aural mountains. This one seems dispassionate and accurate. I only need to study the phenomenon to decide if the scientific conclusion is really the answer to the mystery.

Some people complained about the narrator’s emotionless voice. He sounded gentle and patient to me.

So compelling

Great book! I love the factual accounts based on the authors personal research. The conclusion is not a theory I had thought of or read about prior to this book. Very interesting! Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their thoughts in the Dyatlov Pass incident.

Great book!

Dude, you need to give it a listen. This was a VERY interesting book. I listened to the whole thing in one sitting (while doing other things of course).
