About this listen
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.

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.

An interesting tale
Although not a fast paced thriller, I still really enjoyed this book. It gives a good insight to the life of George Mallory. Although I knew how it would end, it didn't detract from the story.

OhMiGoodness
OhMiGoodness Another Jeffrey Archer I have to admit to enjoying. After listening to Prisoner of Birth, I was excited to hear that this book was available as an audio. Totally different in style and background, but nonetheless a riveting and enjoyable book. There is enough detail in the story to keep your interest, but not so much technical stuff as to become a book just for climbers! This is almost a historical novel I suppose. Really good listen.
