Six thirteen-year-olds. Forty-six Adirondack peaks. One impossible adventure in the summer of 1964.
Danny, Mikey, Charlie, Penny, Meg, and Artie are tired of being told where to go, what to do, and who they are supposed to become. Armed with little more than oversized canvas packs, a battered paper map, a compass, and the dangerous confidence of kids who believe they are invincible, they leave Buffalo behind and disappear into the Adirondack wilderness.
Their plan sounds simple: climb all forty-six High Peaks before anyone can stop them.
But the mountains are nothing like the lines on a map.
What begins as a reckless escape quickly becomes a brutal fight against freezing rain, flooded rivers, black flies, hunger, injuries, wild animals, failing equipment, and the crushing realization that no one may be coming to save them. Every summit demands a price. Every mistake follows them deeper into the forest. And as the group begins to break apart under fear, exhaustion, and buried secrets, they must decide what matters more-the dream that brought them there or the friends keeping them alive.
Set in an era before cell phones, GPS, and instant rescue, 46 in 64 or Die Trying is a gripping coming-of-age adventure about courage, loyalty, survival, and the wild decisions that can change a life forever.
The Adirondacks will test their bodies, expose their secrets, and take something from each of them.
But if they survive, they will return as legends.
A powerful wilderness adventure for readers who love survival stories, unforgettable friendships, historical fiction, and the dangerous freedom of a world that no longer exists.

PhishStones (aka David Salmon)
Author. Survivor. Loudmouth with a pen.
PhishStones doesn't write books so much as he sets them on fire and hands you the ashes.
Known for his raw, R-rated, laugh-out-loud, occasionally uncomfortable truth-telling, PhishStones writes for people who've lived-and aren't interested in polite bullshit anymore. His work blends dark humor, redemption, outdoor grit, boomer wisdom, and the kind of honesty that only comes from screwing things up, owning it, and walking forward anyway.
