About this ebook
Meridian Air Flight 712 was supposed to be a routine journey from Kathmandu to London. Instead, it became a nightmare. A catastrophic storm tears the Boeing 737 from the sky, scattering wreckage across a remote mountainside at over twelve thousand feet. Of the 214 souls on board, only seven survive.
Stranded with no rescue beacon, no communication, and dwindling supplies, the survivors face an impossible choice: stay with the wreckage and freeze, or descend into an unforgiving wilderness where every step could be their last.
Led by Daniel Cross, a former soldier haunted by his own demons, the group battles avalanches, whiteout storms, and a cold so brutal it steals the will to live. But the mountain isn't their only threat. When they discover a murdered passenger among the wreckage, paranoia sets in. The killer is still with them. And in a place where trust is a luxury, suspicion can be just as deadly as the cold.
Buried Above the Clouds is a gripping survival thriller about endurance, trust, and the dark truths people hide when civilization is stripped away. With relentless pacing, cinematic tension, and deeply human characters, Ethan Cole delivers a story that will keep you turning pages long into the night.
