The Final Summit by Andy Andrews

"The Final Summit" by Andy Andrews it the continuation of the story of David Ponder. In this story David is 74 and he misses his beloved wife who died unexpectedly. Most days he wishes he could just go to heaven and be with her again.Turns out David was a time traveler, someone chosen to travel back thru time and the wisdom he gleaned is what made him the successful man that he became. When he gets a summons from the archangel Gabriel, to sit in on what could be the final summit, a summit that will determine the fate of humanity! Before reading this story I hadn't read anything by Andy Andrews. I learned that there was a previous book in this series titled "The Time Traveler". Although I hadn't read it I had no problems reading this book, the author gives us enough information so that I didn't feel lost. Anyone looking for an interesting story, with historical aspects woven in will certainly enjoy this one. I really enjoyed this authors writing style and purchased more of his work! Highly recommended! I was provided a copy of this book by Booksneeze in exchange for an honest review. If you want to learn more about the book here is the product description: David Ponder is back. This time the fate of mankind is in his hands. This is mankind's last chance. Centuries of greed, pride, and hate have sent humanity hurtling toward disaster, and far from its original purpose. There is only one solution that can reset the compass and right the ship, and it consists of only two words. With time running out, it is up to David Ponder and a cast of history's best and brightest minds to uncover this solution before it is too late. The catch? They Are allowed only five tries to discover the answer. Readers first encountered David Ponder in The Traveler's Gift. Now, in The Final Summit, Andrews combines riveting narrative with astounding history in order to show us the one thing we must do when we don't know what to do. Many years have passed since David Ponder discovered the Seven Decisions during a divine journey through time. Now 74 years old, Ponder-has lost the one thing that mattered to him most: his wife, Ellen. Despite his personal and professional success, he now sits alone at the top of his 55-story high-rise contemplating the unthinkable, just as he did 28 years ago. However,just as things are looking their darkest, Ponder is informed through divinechannels that he is needed now more than ever. Together, with the help of hundreds of his fellow Travelers, from Winston Churchill to George Washington Carver to Joan of Arc, he must work to discover the one solution that will save humanity. Time is running out, and the final summit of Travelers must work quickly to avoid dire consequences. The Final Summit explores the historically proven principles that have guided our greatest leaders for centuries, and how we might restore these principles in our own lives...before it's too late.
