A dramatic and richly detailed account of a joint American-Indian effort to plant a nuclear-powered sensing device at the top of the world--in order to monitor Chinese missile launches shortly after the Chinese had detonated their first nuclear test. Combining a major espionage operation with hair-raising mountaineering exploits in an extraordinarily hostile environment, the story is co-authored by legendary Indian mountaineer M.S. Kohli, conqueror of Mt. Everest and the man in charge of the joint mission.
