Book Review: Tibetan Adventure

Share This Story

Tibetan Adventure is an interesting action novel featuring two separate kidnappings. First, the protagonist's father, who was presumed dead, then his mother. Both mother and father are scientists and they are held by an evil Chinese colonel so they can work for him as research scientists. Why are badguys always 'evil?'. This one certainly qualifies!

Miraculously, a Tibetan bandit arrives on the scene to help the young man. At least it seems miraculous when thinking of it from the protagonist's view, but of course, there is the other view that the bandit came looking for the young man because he needed his help as much as the other way around.

The plot is intricate and includes a secret formula, hidden culture, a yeti, exotic medicine, dried yak meat, an abandoned monastery and friendship. Finally, escape by rope and helicopter. Most of the action takes place in Tibet.

This is an exciting thriller, 140 pages of suspense for all ages, even safe for kids. Its a quick read that you may want to consume in one sitting.
