Book excerpt: "The Death Q," from author/adventurer, Steven "Blast" Halteman, is an offbeat desert guide sprinkled with entertaining short stories. It chronicles the 811 mile winter hike he created, after an inordinate amount of investigative footwork. The hike circles Death Valley along ten abandoned railroads, one active railroad, and passes through multiple ghost towns. The first in a series of unusual adventures titled, "Stories from Steve," this book is also part memoir, part unearthed history and part humorous tall tales, all of which were inspired by life on the trail. For thru-hikers, "The Death Q" gives practical advice and breaks down the journey into 35 days with a guide to routes and support services available at critical points along the way. For non-hikers, railroad buffs and armchair travelers, it provides an opportunity to take a vicarious trip into a heretofore unknown adventure. For travelers to the Death Valley region, it offers an alternative guidebook to a remote and timeless part of the world. However you decide to slice it, "The Death Q" is an unforgettable and engrossing read. And one heck of a hike.
