For armchair cavers: Satori, by Trevanian (nee: Rodney William Whitaker), the prequel to Shibumi, is due out March 7.
Sadly, Mr. Whitaker passed away Dec. 14, 2005. A posthumous release, this is likely this is the last of his novels. Check Amazon.com for the synopsis of the book. It appears not to have any in-cave activity as Shibumi was infamous for. Jim Evatt
