Eichar went to the scene twice to interview people and study the documents and on the second trip he actually traveled to the scene in mid-winter. This is the mystery which fascinated Eichar and his buddy Jason Thompson so much they had to travel to Russia to try to figure it out. The question was, and still is really, what the heck happened, and even now, over half a century later, it’s not quite known why or how they died. All members of the group came back on stretchers having been found in various places and half dressed with no shoes on any of them. Nine students from a Russian university decided to take a hike into the Ural mountains and be back in time for the new semester Yekaterinburg’s university. Eichar is no Krakhour but he’s a good writer. I’ve read Jon Krakour’s books, Into Thin Air and Into the Wild – (as well as others) and hoped for something similar. He’s a documentary producer by trade so this adventure and book about it was kind of right up his alley.ĭead Mountain: The True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident In this case it works better than some I’ve heard although it’s a rather dry reading. Eichar also narrates the book although it’s not usually a good idea for authors to narrate their own books. And then I got the Kindle version, too, because it was quite inexpensive and has pictures.
One of them was this book, “Dead Mountain,” from the history section – a true mystery – not necessarily crime. Looking for something a bit different after reading The Seven Functions of Language, I happened on an Audible 2-for-1 sale and got 4 books.
