Press Release Summary: AMERICAN CLIMBS EVEREST DURING WORLD TREK

Press Release Body:

(SEATTLE, WA)-To date, more than 1,300 climbers have ascended Mount Everest, and
more than 200 have died, according to www.mounteverest.com.



Gary Garner, a vagabond for the twenty-first century and author of the new book
Through the Eyes of Madness, set out on a seven-continent journey that led him
toward the base camp of Mount Everest.



His near-death experience on the mountain is only one of several incredible stories
featured in his breathtaking new book.



For the past five years, Garner has literally been homeless and jobless, and more or
less without material possessions. During his exploration, he has experienced:

Witnessing a brutal murder on the South China Sea
The wrath of an angry mob in the midst of a Nepalese civil war
Being ambushed and robbed in Costa Rica by very unusual suspects
Countless other harrowing escapes that have illustrated valuable and moving life
lessons


Fortunately, readers get to go along for the ride, as Garner kept countless detailed
journals and notes, and crafted amazing artwork along the way. The author's modern
adventure tale is richly illustrated with scores of photos and drawings and each
chapter details the real life-and-death adventures Mr. Garner continually put
himself in, many of which were seemingly un-survivable.



The book also has an intriguing twist: Mr. Garner has a mysterious surprise waiting
for anyone who can decipher the encrypted codes in his journal, which point to
physical clues planted around the world. From beginning to end, the book is laced
with a visual and mathematical secret code-but unlike its fictional cousins, this
book's secret is very real.



"These past few years have been so fantastical and life-altering that even I have
trouble believing it," admits Mr. Garner. "But that's why I kept the journals and
constructed the book in the way that I did. Now, others can share in the adventure."



To learn more about the breakout book critics are hailing as "the most ingenious and
intriguing adventure book ever written," visit www.ThroughtheEyesofMadness.com, or
