Each death or brush with death is at once a suspense story, a cautionary tale,  and a medical thriller. Will they survive, or will they succumb? Readers will shiver  with a man lost in the snowy woods, suffering from hypothermia and tearing off his  clothes as he’s burning up from the cold; they will hallucinate with a young woman  stranded at the top of Annapurna as she experiences a cerebral edema; and while a  kayaker tumbles helplessly underwater for two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes,  readers, too, will gasp for their last breath.","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43352060625151,"sku":"9780345441515","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780345441515_s600x595.jpg?v=1782316574","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780345441515","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
