The Flesh Eaters
Geoffrey Childs
Geoffrey Childs, born in 1946, sketches this fictional scene: When a pair of climbers does not return, two sets of rescuers set out--one for experience, and the other one to save friends. In the aftermath of the event, the motives and feelings are just as divided. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Rescue: Stories of Survival From Land and Sea."
Geoff is Professor of Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis who studies demographic processes and sociocultural change across the Himalayan region. Having abandoned a normal career path for a life of climbing and worldwide adventure, baby boomer Geof Childs finds himself at middle age putting on the gray suit of ambition in order to support his wife and child. Yet he soon discovers that though he had abandoned climbing and adventure, they had not abandoned him.
David Elias works extensively in voice-overs. His television credits include "Homicide", and he has been seen in films such as "Runaway Bride" and "Deep Impact". With his group Live Ethics, he performs nationwide in ethics training seminars for a variety of professions.
