Snow in the Kingdom: My Storm Years on Everest
"...Webster's powerfully written Snow in the Kingdom escapes being swallowed in the [Everest] deluge ... is meticulously researched and emotionally charged."  --Rock & Ice Magazine, Feb/March, 2001"Emotionally charged ... (the book is) an examination of Webster's soul, rather than a simple story of a great climb." --Joe Simpson, High Mountain Sports, England, December 2001"Engrossing and detailed writing, candid introspection, generous color photography ... It belongs on the shelf among the great annals of mountain literature." --Don Mellor, GORP.com, May 10, 2001"Much more than a climbing book, Snow In The Kingdom is about the making of a man. [Reading] the do-or-die summit push it was impossible to put the book down." --Thom Pollard, EverestNews.com, May 17, 2001"Snow in the Kingdom dazzles the eye as much as the imagination ... Heroic, upbeat, and powerful." --Midwest Book Review, October 2001"This miraculous account of struggle and survival rivets the reader to discover what the fate of these friends will be." --Rain Taxi literary review, Autumn, 2001"Webster's most intriguing claim is that seven-year-old Tenzing Norgay may have met George Mallory ... whose body was discovered  last year."  --The Observer, London, Dec. 24, 2000"the strongest [book] of its sort since Touching the Void.  Perhaps a closer comparison is Herzog’s Annapurna." --SECOND PLACE Winner, 2001 Boardman-Tasker Mountain Literature Prize, London.FINALIST, Mountain Literature catagory --2001 Banff Mountain Book Festival, Banff, CanadaOne of the Top Ten greatest hits of Everest Lit.
