Customer Reviews

More than an expedition

A book about perseverance and self discovery.

The Terror Speakes for itself

I picked this up because I loved the Mini series. The comparisons as I read are interesting. Character development is really what this book is about. Very realistic. A careful building of tensions. Hard to put down.

One of my favorite books

This book is a great thriller, you never lose. Interest
