Summary
This is the story of a man who loved two women, and one of them killed him.
Some people have dreams that are so outrageous that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Francis Drake, Robert Scott, Percy Fawcett, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong are among such individuals.
But what if one man had such a dream, and when he'd achieved it, there was no proof that he had fulfilled his ambition?
Paths of Glory, is the story of such a man. But not until you've turned the last page of this extraordinary novel, will you be able to decide if George Mallory should be added to this list of legends, because if he were, another name would have to be removed.

Excellent
I found this combination of fact and fiction rather compelling. it's both beautifully written and narrated. I'm afraid a few chores got overlooked until I reached the end.

Great story based on true events
Not having known much about Mallory and the story of his attempted (possibly successful) climb of Everest I found this a well told and though provoking story, and I definitely what to find out more about him. I appreciate this book plays some licence with the facts, but is still a great read

Addictive listening.
I found this audio book a fantastic introduction into the historical account of George Mallory's climbing career. Being a huge Archer fan for many years I downloaded this audio book without ever hearing the name 'George Mallory'. I was stunned to discover that the book was based on a real person/s. The narration was wonderful and true. Yet another memorable read/listen from Archer.

A very good listen
I was very pleasantly surprised at the story having visited the Everest area before. The description of the processes and attitudes of the time was also good. This is a story that would make a good film when one day they find the elusive camera. The key of course is to be successful you must return. The epilogue was also interesting. To think they tried to climb the mountain in the equipment of the time says so much of the drive and ambition of all the team. Another triumphant failure perhaps but nonetheless a magnificent effort.

Another example of Archer's epic storytelling
Enjoyed every second I listened, like others, I had no prior knowledge of Mallory and his exploits so to discover you're reading a true story told as well as if it is fiction is quite the testament to the book.

Brilliant !!!
I felt berefit when I finished listening to this story.
I can not stop thinking about it and researching the factual story on which it is based. Jeffrey Archer knows how to write a brilliant story.
