The Jefferson Key: A Novel by Steve Berry

I am not a fiction reader, and I especially laughed at one of the characters in this book, described as never reading a novel in his life, "why waste time on lies?". I'm not that harsh, but this book gets off to a great start, lots of great imagery and easy-to-understand characters.

I saw this book for sale in the Columbia Icefield gift shop, after having gone on the tour of the Athabasca glacier.

For 2 months in Summer 2006 I visited/worked in Alberta, and got some small but quality hiking and exploring the Rocky Mountains. But I'm a practical person, not wanting much for souvineers, and this book, among only a few other things through the two months made a great impression on me.

There are dozens of photograph books with beautiful pictures, but very few stand out above the group. This is one, and this would be a great buy for anyone who is out in the Rockies, or has been there, or just want to see great pictures of the mountains. This is an… Read more
