Brigham Young VIII wants to kill himself.Brigham "Brig" Young VIII wants to kill himself in a way that will embarrass and publicly shame his self-righteous father.Brig is a high-functioning opiate addict that unwittingly gets involved with members of a violent Hong Kong organized crime syndicate on his journey to his frozen tomb on the north face of Mount Everest.Written in the fragmented narrative, Suicide By Everest is the violent, darkly humorous story of Brigham Young VIII, first-in-line to inherit the riches and influence that the Young dynasty, through their hotel empire, has amassed over the centuries. Brig is a broken man that has disappointed his father, embarrassed his family, shamed his faith, ruined relationships and blames everyone but himself. Hitting rock bottom, Brig decides that his only option is suicide. But not just any suicide. Brig resolves to make a vengeful statement of his death, embarking on a physical and mental journey from his home in Salt Lake City, to Hong Kong, through China, and finally to his frozen gravesite on Mount Everest.

Review:

"This book was amazing. The storytelling was very unique, and I loved the way the chapters were broken down. They go back and forth, past and present, and the story unfolds in a manner that the reader both knows everything, and knows nothing, and learns both as they go. As the book progresses the depth of the characters unfolds, as does the peculiar history of Brig, the Main Character, and his role in plots he knows/doesn't know. Religion plays a very key element in the story, but the novel does not preach. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a quality novel. Scott is a tremendous author, and I look forward to his next book!"

"Scott nailed it. An epic journey through the unexpected, yet intermingled cultures of wealth, drugs, religion and Asian gangs. From the initial Epilogue through the unexpected twists and turns, Scott shares a great piece of fiction with a unique awareness of the cultures that clash. Can't wait for the sequel!"

"What a great read! A page-turner you won't want to put down. Scott develops great characters that the reader can't help pulling for, and his terrific exposition evokes exciting imagery!"

"A true adventure about climbing mountains, international travel, Chinese gangs, beautiful women and a challenged hero. This is all woven together by Scott with an interesting theme of growing up as a part of the Mormon church and the associated challenges. I read the entire book during my last international trip and it helped pass the time quickly."

"Suicide by Everest is a gripping novel about some very interesting characters dealing with their past choices and interacting in a variety of situations. From the mountains of Utah to the seedy streets of Hong Kong, this book kept me captivated and I finished in less than a week. Recommended!
