Please share as I’m always on the lookout for book recommendations, as I’m sure are others. I’ll get things started, the following books are simply brilliant: 1. A Voyage for Madmen – Peter Nichols 2. Left for Dead – Nick Ward 3. Endurance – Alfred Lancing (features one of the great opening lines, “The order to abandon ship was given at 5 p.m.”) 4. Dark Summit – Nick Heil Ta in advance. "There is no Frigate like a book to take us lands away." Emily Dickinson. |
