Paths of Glory

Written by Jeffrey Archer

Narrated by Roger Allam

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. Christopher Columbus, Isaac Newton, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Eddison, Nancy Astor, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hilary 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 Jeffrey Archer's 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.

[Jennifer Thomas · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved it. Didnt realise it was based on true facts. Makes it even more interesting.
And with an exceptional narrator like that its the perfect recipe for a good audio book.
