Plausible explanation that covers most substantiated facts but I'm not sure if it's a likely explanation. At the very least, in my mind, it doesn't adequately explain the rush to leave the tent. The author well employed the adage of 'When you have eliminated the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.' but forgot the adage 'When you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras.' Overall an interesting read and theory, one refreshingly grounded in reality.

The author has done extensive research, but his conclusion fails on three points. His conclusion cannot explain why there were crushed ribs/skulls of the victims without any external injuries, the issue of the missing tongue and why there was an orange glow coming off the victims bodies at the funeral. Also there were insufficient number of picture plates in the book. Expected more from the book.

It's been two days since I finished the book and I still think the author got it wrong with his explanation on what happened that night. I think he disregarded the photo of the blurred white light too easily and the cut in the tent from the inside is the big one from me. These were professional hikers and they were in -25 degree temperatures. There is no way in the world they were cutting a hole in their tent unless someone or something was trying to get into that tent..
