Honest vulnerable and moving Real-Life

Revisado: 01-17-25

I was reluctant to stop listening. I carried the audio around with me at home and while driving, amd even a little at work! I know the author from a John Acuff group, and I had sent his book to a young friend who is incarcerated last year. Only now I had made the time to listen. The details he recounts leave little to the imagination. The scope of suspense, empathy, and emotions is tremendous and encompassing. God's redemption story is miraculous in each life. But perhaps even a little more so for David. I'm left with praise for God's providence, and admiration for David's integrity and honorable discharge of the new life he's inherited.

mind boggling history, engineering, connections

Revisado: 01-03-25

Everything about the story, including the research, the topics, and pace is epic. I learned so much, exclaiming aloud several times as familiar names were tied into the narrative, or excitedly finishing a sentence when I noticed the engineering ideas coming to a conclusion. Mountainous industry and political figures are involved. There is a LOT of detail, and sometimes it can seem tedious. But almost immediately, a new scene unfolds, or another mighty name enters the story. This book could serve as a semester study in a history class, econ or political science, engineering, or business. simply epic.

Spectacular Epic Captures It All

Revisado: 06-15-24

The research and storytelling are first rate. Weaving and blending through overlaid timeliness, the tales of mighty adventures unfold. The details bring it all alive, from the extremes experienced in the remote harsh polar regions, to the splendor of discovering unknown Himalayan peaks. Spectacular!

massively detailed

Revisado: 06-25-23

Apparently deeply researched, the stories within the story develop coherently, and give a richness to the arctic exploration adventure. lots of the expected challenges arise, along with plenty of unusual twists. the author takes us all the way to the end of each man's story, which fills in some interesting details near the end. it's a long book, but that seemed fitting considering the time span involved. the reader kept the pace well, and felt personable.

high adventure + history

Revisado: 09-29-22

Read by the author, this first hand account of his retracing history is a well woven story of the "then" and the "now." Well done!

A More Clear Picture

Revisado: 07-28-22

The readings of the daily journals in parallel allows a stark view of the dual, dueling expeditions. this will be hard to forget. The dramatacized characterization and accented voices for each party was a distraction. I believe also that there was some dramatic license influencing certain inflection or emphases. Ultimately, the epicness of the overall story is what lingers.

another thoughtful adventure

Heinlein is thought-provoking, all while telling a rollicking tale, thorough adventure, and pretty visionary sci-fi. great narrator also!
