The excitement continues in The Thousand Dollar Climb, the jaw-dropping new adrenaline-fueled adventure in J.T. Brannan's bestselling Colt Ryder series, from a thriller writer at the top of his game.

Lance Martel is one of the most successful – and fearless – climbers in the United States. A former Olympic competitor and holder of a plethora of records, he now spends his time taking part in epic challenges for his charitable organization.

His current endurance trial sees him attempting to survive in the mountains of Colorado for an entire month, in the worst winter the region has seen for years, all without any kind of external support, and while also having to summit each and every one of the state’s 58 peaks that stand above 14,000 feet.

But another challenge is issued on the dark web – find Lance Martel and murder him, live on camera. Trent Bronkowski, technical genius and friend to vigilante-for-hire Colt Ryder, discovers this terrible challenge and immediately asks Colt for his help in protecting Martel.

The trouble is that Martel is off-the-grid, not publicizing his location to avoid people coming to help him; he wants to be truly alone for the duration, entirely undisturbed in the ferocious conditions of the mountains, as he films his adventure for future release.

While a host of would-be killers stalk the celebrity climber, Colt ''' with the help of his loyal canine sidekick, Kane – must find him first, and ensure that the sick challenge to murder the man fails.

But in the depths of a devastating winter, in the treacherous high mountains of Colorado, it is not just the killers who Colt has to worry about – because nature itself is trying to kill anyone who dares to set foot there.

The Thousand Dollar Climb is a truly thrilling action adventure that is sure to keep you reading all night long!
