Between is the life of a mountain climber. Between is his conflict with the conventional world, his passion for a woman he cannot possess, his dream of conquering the Himalayan peak Dera Zor. This sweeping novel is the story of Eric Venn, a man haunted by other times and other faces. Death and disaster have too often followed him up the belaying lines. He seeks to silence the voices of the dead with alcohol and drugs and the comforts of a woman's body. But he can never erase the dream. Dero Zor is there--waiting for him. James Ramsey Ullman was a theatrical producer, adventurer, travel columnist and mountain climber. He was the official historian on the successful 1963 American Mount Everest Expedition and the author of the international best seller, The White Tower.
