About

On the evening of July 27, 1985, five hikers made a fateful choice to climb Yosemite's Half Dome, even as the sky darkened and thunder rolled. By night's end, two would be dead from a lightning strike, three gravely wounded, and desperate EMTs would be overseeing a harrowing midnight helicopter rescue.

Reviews

"[A] well-written and thoroughly investigated account…[Madgic's] contribution to the adventure category is at once a terrifying story and an urgent cautionary tale."
Publishers Weekly
"Anthony Heald's slightly husky voice is perfect for this outdoor horror story. He adds foreshadowing when describing the gathering clouds, quickens the pace during the storm, and injects personality into the follow-up interviews. Listen and be educated, entertained-and cautioned."
