On a mission of retribution for the destruction of his planet, its half-mad captain seeks the death of every intelligent being, and the annihilation of every civilized world.

I'm not very talented at writing reviews, but it must be done. If you like Star Trek, if you have seen and enjoyed the new Star Trek movies, and especially if, like me, you have marveled over their indescribable casting brilliance, then you owe it to yourself to listen to this novelization and production. You will not regret it. All hail the uber-talented and inimitable Zachary Quinto.

Only four men survived the plane crash. The pilot. A politician. A cop... and the criminal he was shackled to. On an icy night in October 1984, a commuter plane carrying nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of northern Alberta. Four survived: the rookie pilot, a prominent politician, a cop, and the criminal he was escorting to face charges. As the men fight through the night to stay alive, the dividing lines of power, wealth, and status are erased, and each man is forced to confront the precious and limited nature of his existence.

Well written, poorly narrated.

What made the experience of listening to Into the Abyss the most enjoyable?
Having grown up in Alberta, this is a story with which I had some familiarity. Each character is given sufficient time in the spotlight, and the circumstances were well researched and described. I was turned off however by consistent pronunciation errors on behalf of the narrator, usually involving terms with which most Canadians would be familiar. It took away from an otherwise well done story.
Would you be willing to try another one of Tiffany Morgan’s performances?
Probably not; aside from the obvious lack of research into some of the minutiae of the story, the narrator had an odd cadence that sometimes bordered on robotic.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Possibly. I believe I listened to it in 3 or 4 sittings, as I usually listen while driving. I enjoyed the breaks to ponder on various aspects of the story.

Set in the remote arctic region of Northern Canada, this book takes listeners on a harrowing canoe voyage that results in tragedy, redemption, and, ultimately, transformation. George Grinnell was one of six young men who set off on the 1955 expedition led by experienced wilderness canoeist Art Moffatt. Poorly planned and executed, the journey seemed doomed from the start. Ignoring the approaching winter, the men became entranced with the peace and beauty of the arctic in autumn.

Narrator ruins a good adventure story

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I wanted to hear the story, so yes.
What other book might you compare Death on the Barrens to and why?
Not sure at the moment.
How could the performance have been better?
This performance was the worst I have ever listened to. Think back to grainy science films that you watched in grade 5. A tone so monotonous that it was very difficult ascertaining where, for example, a character's quote started and ended. I literally had to force myself to listen as I was interested in the story but kept losing the thread of it in this uninspired narration.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
As long as it wasn't narrated by the same guy, absolutely!
