The Final Summit by Andy Andrews is the story of the last traveler, David Ponder, who is assigned to lead a summit of all the travelers to find the principle that will save humanity. I so enjoyed reading about the historical figures that were brought into the story and how the author described them. He meets with George Washington Carver, Winston Churchill, Eric Erickson, Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln, as well as others. I even researched some of the characters after I finished the book and found out about history I had not known. Each historical character brings a nugget of wisdom to the table and as they combine their wisdom, the puzzle pieces are put together to discover the principle that was save humanity. As each idea is discussed as to what the principle could be, the characters teach some valuable life lessons to the reader.
The Final Summit is a follow up to The Traveler's Gift and the "Five Decisions" are discussed in this book as well. As the travelers search for the principle, they are in a race against time as they watch the sands from the hour glass fall. I felt as if I needed to read the book quickly to beat the hour glass!
The Final Summit was inspiring and challenging at the same time. I loved reading this book and highly endorse it to everyone interested! I also think this would be excellent reading for high school and college students. I was provided a copy of this book from Book Sneeze in exchange for my review.
