Minecraft: The Mountain: An Official Minecraft Novel

By Max Brooks

Book Overview

In the thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling novel Minecraft: The Island, a stranded hero stumbles upon another castaway--and discovers that teamwork might just be the secret to survival.

Wandering a vast, icy tundra, the explorer has never felt more alone. Is there anything out here? Did I do the right thing by leaving the safety of my island? Should I give up and go back? So many questions, and no time to ponder--not when dark is falling and dangerous mobs are on the horizon.

Gurgling zombies and snarling wolves lurk in the night, and they're closing in. With nowhere to hide, the lone traveler flees up a mountain, trapped and out of options . . . until a mysterious figure arrives, fighting off the horde singlehandedly. The unexpected savior is Summer, a fellow castaway and master of survival in these frozen wastes.

Excited to find another person in this strange, blocky world, the explorer teams up with Summer, whose impressive mountain fortress as a safe haven . . . for now. But teamwork is a new skill for two people used to working alone. If they want to make it home, they will have to learn to work together--or risk losing everything.

Customer Reviews

Excellent tail set in the Minecraft universe

This was an excellent sequel to the first book, The Island. Max Brooks is such a great writer. Once again you're instantly absorbed into this easy read. The main character recalls all the excellent lessons he learned in the first book, but now he's adding new wisdom to his experience. It's adventure, it's excitement it's a harrowing tail. Wonder and intrigue, in every chapter. The main character is a really moral lil guy, and his resolve is tested quite a few times. It's such a good story. It's hard to put down. All three Max Brooks Minecraft books are really well written. So happy I own them now.
