In a remote Himalayan cave a group of tourists led by an American guide find the mummified corpse of an RAF flyer. Before they can investigate, all except the guide are massacred. In Bosnia, a patrol investigates a disturbance at a mass grave site and catches a fleeting glimpse of a creature straight out of a medieval morality play.

Review of 'Descent' on 'Goodreads'

I have no idea what this book was really about. There are hints of a religious subplot, as well as a "fantastic voyage", but none of these are coherent enough to make the read worthwhile.

There are good ideas hidden here. They're just not executed well enough to make this an enjoyable read.
