A climbing expedition turns into a rescue mission

Peak Marcello joins a filmed international climbing expedition in the Hindu Kush, near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. When an attack on the remote base camp leaves his mountaineer mother abducted, the expedition’s purpose shifts to Peak’s effort to find those responsible and save her. The book brings together mountaineering, an isolated setting and a high-stakes search, with the expedition’s multinational team providing the backdrop for Peak’s personal mission. It is the second title in Roland Smith’s Peak Marcello’s Adventures series, following *Peak* and preceding *Ascent* and *Descent*.

Book overview

Fans of the bestselling Peak will be thrilled with this gripping, high-stakes climbing adventure.

The International Peace Ascent is the brainchild of billionaire Sebastian Plank: Recruit a global team of young climbers and film an inspiring, world-uniting documentary.

The adventure begins when fifteen-year-old Peak Marcello and his mountaineer mother are helicoptered to a remote base camp in the Hindu Kush Mountains on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. When the camp is attacked and his mother taken, Peak has no choice but to track down the perpetrators to try to save her.

This thrilling teen climbing adventure is "the perfect antidote for kids who think books are boring" (Publishers Weekly starred review for Peak).
