Jules Mountain is a survivor. The odds of surviving his type of cancer were one in five; the odds of dying on Everest are one in sixty. But just as he reaches Base Camp in April 2015, the giant earthquake in Nepal sets off an avalanche that will kill 21. Jules is within touching distance of his life's ambition and is now faced with an agonising choice about his next move. Aftershock is a heart-stopping eyewitness account of the deadliest day in history on the world's most iconic mountain. It is also an exploration of the choices we make in life, and throws up difficult questions about how logic and compassion can be affected by altitude and extreme stress.

Jules Mountain is a maverick entrepreneur. In 2007 he was diagnosed with cancer while he was trying to sell his latest business. In spite of major surgery and chemotherapy he successfully sold the business just before the global financial crash. After a gruelling 12 months he recovered and set himself the new challenge of climbing Everest. He wanted to prove to himself that the cancer had in no way affected him and he was still as physically capable as he was before his diagnosis. He now advises other businesses and is a motivational speaker, as well as a loving father to his two daughters.
