 Angels of Light
"Jeff Long has written a climbing Western, with philosophical overtones. Yosemite Valley provides the setting and much of the substance of his exciting and extravagant novel."

The Ascent
"It is quite simply the best mountaineering novel we have ever read. It is a deceptive book, written as a thriller and marketed as an airport novel. The plot is so gripping that it carries the reader through the subtle mysteries of the relationships, symbolism and political manoeuvrings at a first reading." |

 |
Flammes de Pierre
"The name of this book of sixteen short stories—which literally means Flames of Rock—refers to the ridge of pinnacles which radiate from Les Drus, in Chamonix. The author has climbed around Chamonix for many years and has absorbed the spirit and the quirks of the climbing scene there—at least the French side of it." |

Mer de Glace
"(...) this is an intelligent, probing novel that won't be satisfied with the easy answers. It comes as close as anything I've read to understanding the daft, obsessive, turmoil of the normal climber." |
|

 |
At the Rising of the Moon
"At the Boardman – Tasker Award ceremony, Somers said, 'My stories may be about climbing, but they are really about relationships'. In fact, they are more focused than that. They are about integrity. Again and again they raise the question, Was it worth it?" |
