This book has the rescue of a Yeti by our heros, the burial of Mallory on Everest to keep an expedition from finding him and putting him on display, an illegal climb to the top of
Everest to free a Lama from the tyrannical rule of a more powerful Lama, a trip to Shambhala where everyone has the flu and lots of other fascinating and strange happenings. I think I have said it before , but it can't be said to much I LOVE KSR!!!!
By the way my big orange long haired Maine Coon mix male cat is named Cat--Mandu
