Historia
In the late nineteenth century, people were obsessed by one of the last unmapped areas of the globe: The North Pole. No one knew what existed beyond the fortress of ice rimming the northern oceans. On July 8, 1879, the USS Jeannette set sail from San Francisco to cheering crowds in the grip of "Arctic Fever." The ship sailed into uncharted seas, but soon was trapped in pack ice. Two years into the harrowing voyage, the hull was breached. Amid the rush of water and the shrieks of breaking wooden boards, the crew abandoned the ship.

"Grand and Terrible" indeed

Over the course of this narrative I felt myself being carried away by the characters. I grew to respect George De Long, the consummate leader, whose detailed planning and preparation set the stage for the hopefully successful journey to the North Pole. I found myself deeply moved by Emma De Long, her long-suffering faithfulness to her unseen husband. I was intrigued by Bennett, the eccentric sportsman and financier. While this story would have been intriguing regardless of the authorship, Sides' descriptive writing and remarkable research filled details in the story that sometimes too my breath away.
To summarize, for the adventure lover, this is a must read.

Great story. There were a couple lulls in the action,but this was a really good story. As am Air Force brat I love hearing a book written by an insider, someone that has such great insight into the life of a pilot. I'm sending a copy to my dad today.

Historia
Over ten years ago, Air Force major Nick Baron was part of a failed special ops mission that left a B-2 stealth bomber at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Now, leading his men - the Triple Seven Chase team - Baron must find the bomber and dispose of it for good before any unfriendly nation can steal the onboard technology for its own purposes. But as the team embarks on its mission, there are greater dangers waiting.
