Synopsis

NATURE IS CALLING—but they shouldn't have answered.

“A compulsive page-turner mixing supernatural survival horror and ... adventure.” — Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers' Club

Travel journalist and mountaineer Nick Grevers awakes from a coma to find that his climbing buddy, Augustin, is missing and presumed dead. Nick’s own injuries are as extensive as they are horrifying. His face wrapped in bandages and unable to speak, Nick claims amnesia—but he remembers everything.

He remembers how he and Augustin were mysteriously drawn to the Maudit, a remote and scarcely documented peak in the Swiss Alps.

He remembers how the slopes of Maudit were eerily quiet, and how, when they entered its valley, they got the ominous sense that they were not alone.

He remembers: something was waiting for them...

But it isn’t just the memory of the accident that haunts Nick. Something has awakened inside of him, something that endangers the lives of everyone around him…

It’s one thing to lose your life. It’s another to lose your soul.

From the international bestselling sensation Thomas Olde Heuvelt comes a thrilling descent into madness and obsession as one man confronts nature—and something even more ancient and evil answers back.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Goodreads review by Misty Marie on February 22, 2022

The first 30% of the book, I was confused on what the hell was going on. I had to go back to make sure I was understanding what the author was trying to get across. By the time I got to 52% I was done trying. There wasn't anything happening, and I didn't care one whit about any mountain. I wanted th......more

This is one of the strangest books I’ve ever read, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing! Echo follows the lives of Sam and Nick after Nick is injured during a mountain climbing expedition. But Nick doesn’t just bring physical scars with him. Something is wrong the with the Maudit, and it seems to h......more

Goodreads review by karen on February 08, 2022

NOW AVAILABLE!!!! "Anyone who goes into the mountains brings the mountains back with them." that's an efficient summary of the book, but if you want to make a stew out of it, add that nietzsche/abyss quote, some lovecraftian themes and adjectives, and SO many birds—specifically DEATH BIRDS: "Don't you......more

Goodreads review by Robin on January 05, 2022

First, the usual caveat. Thomas Olde Heuvelt has been a friend for many years. And I received a free advance Reading Copy of the book. But, as usual, I don't feel this has impacted my reaction to this book. It's really creepy. And it's a relentlessly building creepiness that both builds dread and mak......more

Goodreads review by John on November 13, 2023

Part of my Review Roundup on Before We Go Blog. There's a great story hiding somewhere in Echo, but, wow, it's hard to find. The novel starts off brilliantly with one of the most well-written, chill-inducing prologues that I've read in any horror book. It's genuinely terrifying. Unfortunately, Echo is......more
