In this compelling mix of high adventure and intellectual quest, a renowned scientist relates his near-death experience on Mount Everest--and how it led him to a lifelong search for the nature of reality. Though no stranger to extreme climates, Dr. Roger Hart very nearly succumbed to them in a horrifying accident that sent him literally falling off the face of the mountain. His brush with death was the beginning of an intellectual and spiritual journey that would take him across the globe and through events that changed him forever--a journey that is vividly captured in The Phaselock Code.
