This comes down as the best evocation of the exploratory spirit, using real documentation to make faction, since [[Mutiny on the Bounty by John Boyne]]. It seldom drifted from being a 5 star read, and I have to recommend it widely.
I must thank the publishers for my review copy. We also have a review of Ryan's [[Signal Red by Robert Ryan|Signal Red]].
Younger readers will be safer learning more about the toilet exploits of the explorers in [[Serious Survival: How to Poo in the Arctic and Other Essential Tips for Explorers by Marshall Corwin]]. Funnily enough, the approach of the two books is a little different.
