Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In "Fatal North", Bruce Henderson's meticulous and thorough research takes an ill-fated polar expedition and makes it read like a who-dunnit. This is one of those books that takes the utmost of the reader's will power not to turn to the epilogue section at the end to see how it comes out.
Henderson's vivid description of the minutest details transports the reader to an ice floe in the Arctic and causes the reader to personally experience every physical, emotional and mental - the hopes, expectations, frustrations and relative successes - of the castaways. The contrast between courage and cowardice; competence and incompetence; loyalty and betrayal coupled with possible murder are the elements that make this book hard to put down once you start reading.
