The XV Legacy

Was mountaineer George Mallory the first to reach the summit of Mt Everest in 1924?

Rani Becker, an ex-Rhodesian philanthropic multi-millionaire, and her intrepid team of ex-SAS bodyguards embark on a search-retrieval mission to find Mallory’s missing camera that’s still buried somewhere on the North East Ridge of Mt Everest.

A week before, Colonel Sandy Campbell of British Intelligence infiltrated a team of disguised Nepalese Gurkhas into Tibet to help rescue a young boy prophesised to be the 15th Dalai Lama. Two agents in Hong Kong forewarn Sandy that a renegade CIA special agent has informed a corrupt Chinese PLA General of the encrypted prophecy. China closes all international borders, prompting the British Secret Service to collusively hook up with Rani Becker’s search expedition. Using a sophisticated aerial rescue-recovery Hercules aircraft, Rani’s team parachute onto Mt Everest and commence their drama filled search; while Sandy attempts to up-lift the boy over the high mountain border before the Chinese can snatch him.

A prophetic Tibetan Lama’s reincarnation predictions from 1920 have a recurring fifth dimensional impact throughout the storyline.
Will the Gurkhas manage to successfully evade the Chinese and save the next Dalai Lama?
Will the mountain search team locate Mallory’s elusive camera?
What’s the mysterious incarnate connection between a brilliant whizz-kid computer hacker in Hong Kong and two female secret agents twice his age?
How do the reincarnated five guardian sisters of Everest bring all these events together?

Featuring locations in Tibet-Northern India-Nepal-Hong Kong and Mt Everest, and set in 1920-1924 (Part I) and 2000 (Part II) this page turning, three plot, rolling manuscript revisits the legend of the spiritual guardians of Chomolungma-the celebrated Long Lived Five Sisters-combined with riveting high altitude Himalayan adventure-action, religious irreverence, some commonplace swearing and humour, incredible flying sequences interspersed with titillating age-disparate sex scenes-some implied-some mildly graphic, underlain with aspects of Buddhist spirituality. All woven into an enlightening, yet thought provoking reincarnation theme.
