I enjoy books by James Rollins, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and other adventure writers. So I decided to pick up Esau from the bargain bin and give it a try.I was surprised, Mr. Kerr was able to create an adventure that made me keep turning the pages to see what would happen next. There were a couple of different story lines here, and they were all very interesting. Most of this book is far fetched, so be prepared to leave reality at the door.The characters were interesting, and they made you want to find out what would happen to them. I thought that Kerr was good at creating a realistic scene in his writing and really seemed to have a great deal of knowledge about climbing.I would recommend this book to all fans of Rollins, or Preston + Child. Good read that kept me interested.
