The Silence on Nanda Devi: A Declassified Cold War First-Contact Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798243347273)

In 1965, a joint U.S.-Indian intelligence team climbed Nanda Devi to place a nuclear-powered monitoring device aimed at Communist China.

Officially, the mission failed due to a storm.

Unofficially, something else was waiting beneath the ice.

When a covert Chinese incursion threatens to expose the mountain's secret, a group of non-human observers-mistaken for myth for centuries-intervene using a weapon no nation can defend against: the human mind itself.

One American soldier, the lowest-ranking man on the expedition, is chosen to remember the truth. Everyone else is allowed to forget.

The Silence on Nanda Devi is a restrained, intelligence-grounded first-contact thriller where no shots are fired, no heroes are celebrated, and the greatest lie ever told is simply called the storm.
