Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Brilliantly crafted, deeply researched . . . a gruesome and powerfully written history. [Dash] provides a thorough look at the underlying subject of all expedition stories--the human heart." --Star-Tribune (Minneapolis) "Horrific and mesmerizing . . . No history I've read in years places you so deeply inside a piece of the past."--National Geographic Adventure "Scholarly and exhilarating. Not only history, but an enthralling sea yarn and true-crime thriller." --Associated Press "I read it in one sitting, absolutely enchanted." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch
