This book is a good place to start." - Wall Street Journal "Bound's passion for what he's doing and his love for the most unexplored geography on Earth is evident on every page. Bound and his colleagues rekindle interest in Shackleton's expedition a century ago they will have done a service. Bound narrates it thrillingly, giving the reader the sense of much more than the catch of a lifetime. Bound is blessed with a poet's ear for richly evocative language." - Times Literary Supplement (London) "An engaging account. With the verve of a thriller, Bound's narrative deftly weaves together his voyages and Shackleton's. This is simply wonderful." - Booklist (starred review) "Gloriously written. Bound is a terrific storyteller he writes with a sense of showmanship, instilling the story of the Endurance's discovery with drama, suspense, and pulse-racing thrills. In his engrossing account, Bound, the maritime archaeologist who led the expedition that found the wreck, alternates between past and present, reminding readers of what happened in 1915 and also taking them along on his modern-day expedition to find the Endurance. The storytelling is piano-wire taut, the writing saturated with polar moodiness." - Sunday Times (London) "Utterly captivating. "As thrilling as any tale from the heroic age of exploration.
