High Hunt
David Eddings
Now in ebook format.Down below in Tacoma, the group around Dan Alders' brother had been held together by a mutual taste for beer, spirits and endless arguments – with a little lying and wife-stealing on the side. But now, high in the mountains on a test of endurance, jealousy is tearing friendships apart.
