description: Adrenaline book's search for the world's best, most exciting writing has taken readers from the peaks of Everest to the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Now, publishing's most successful adventure series returns with Storm, first-hand accounts of battling with the elements: hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes and sand storms - in mountains, seas, plains, and jungles. Included are contributions from sailors, climbers, adventures and other hardy souls: people like Patrick O'Brian, Stephen Venables, Chris Bonnington, Sebastian Junger, Joseph Conrad and Apsley Cherry-Garrard. Full of harrowing adventures that test the human endurance, Storm contains stories of individuals who must fight to stay alive. Barry Lopez is a trapped among artic floes by a sudden squall; Art Davidson's team freezes in a wind storm on Mount McKinley as the temperature hits 148 degrees below zero; an idyllic sail turns tragic when Gordon Chaplin loses his ship and his lover in a South Pacific typhoon. Adrenaline Books presents the latest instalment of the most thrilling accounts of men and women facing the full force of nature's fury.
