Next winter when the northerlies are howling and there is snow banked all around, listen to Don Simmons "Terror" about marooned sailing ships in the polar ice. It will spook you good.
Normally I agree totally on the readers' make or break role. But I once got ahold of Grant's autobiography to pass away the hours on a long trip. The reader was a real whiney type whose voice was like finger nails on a blackboard but the writing was first rate and carried me through.
IMO, Burk's books are good but too formulaic and too much alike. The best of them was "In the Electric Mist with the Confederate Dead".

1B I listened to The Terror a few years ago and concur, it's a gripping story.

Just a note, our library has small MP3 players with a book loaded. You can check them out just like any other book.

I had a Tom Clancy novel read by Richard Crenna (The Hunt for Red October maybe?) As good as it gets. Edward Hermann is pretty good as well.

This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.
