The Himalaya near Mount Everest are ruthless and serene, while the stars tracing above are without love or grudge. Seasonal tides of fair and foul weather wash in thousands of trekkers, and more ambitious climbers who kletter by night and day. Many reach their aspirations and many die trying, their bodies abandoned frozen on the mountains like nameless starfish stranded in finality upon a beach. The names of the unremembered can never be forgotten.
While the Earth turns the heavens seem to shower down onto the mountains and over the horizon.

My new book Iraq: Inside the Inferno 2005 – 2008 is now available for pre-order from my publisher here.
A portion of the proceeds from each book sale will benefit the great organization Soldiers’ Angels. Our ultimate goal is to raise $50,000.00 for Soldiers’ Angels and we are already well on our way. While we sell this new book, I am asking my supporters and readers to buy it to both support me and my mission and to support Soldiers’ Angels. You will also get a great book. I am back in action (as if I ever left) and my publisher is making royalties on this new book available far in advance of when they would be in a traditional publisher-author arrangement. I am able to keep at it because of you and your help.
Thank you. You may pre-order Iraq: Inside the Inferno here.
— Your writer, Michael Yon
