Looking out his porch window one spring morning, Adam Shoalts spotted a majestic peregrine falcon flying across the neighbouring fields near Lake Erie. Each spring, falcons migrate from southernmost Canada to remote arctic mountains. Grabbing his backpack and canoe, Shoalts resolved to follow the falcon’s route north on an astonishing 3,400-kilometre journey to the Arctic.

But though she had the support of the agency, Andrea grew frustrated with the service's bureaucratic idiosyncrasies, and left the force after twelve years. Two decades later, however, she stumbles across a mystery that pulls her right back where she left off: three young men have vanished from the Pacific Crest Trail.

Gripping and often poetic, Alone Against the North is a classic adventure story of single-minded obsession, physical hardship, and the restless sense of wonder that every explorer has in common. What Shoalts discovered as he paddled downriver was a series of unmapped waterfalls that could easily have killed him. Just as astonishing was the media reaction when he got back to civilization. He was feted by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and congratulated by the Governor General. People were enthralled by Shoalts’s proof that the world is bigger than we think.

Histoire
Traverspine is not a place you will find on most maps. A century ago, it stood near the foothills of the remote Mealy Mountains in central Labrador. Today it is an abandoned ghost town, almost all trace of it swallowed up by dark spruce woods that cloak millions of acres. In the early 1900s, this isolated little settlement was the scene of an extraordinary haunting by large creatures none could identify. Strange tracks were found in the woods. Unearthly cries were heard in the night. Sled dogs went missing.

In some ways the model for the new wave of adventure books, Adrift is now an undeniable seafaring classic, a riveting firsthand account by the only man known to have survived for more than a month alone at sea, fighting for his life in an inflatable raft after his small sloop capsized.

“Until You Are Dead” chronicles the loss of Canada’s innocence. Prior to June 11, 1959, Canadian parents could allow their children to play outdoors, unsupervised, in places children traditionally love: schoolyards, fields and nearby swimming holes. But on that hot summer day, when the body of a twelve-year-old girl turned up in a woody area near Clinton, Ontario, that innocence was shattered.

More than half a century ago, the naturalist Farley Mowat accepted an assignment to investigate why wolves were killing Arctic caribou. Mowat’s account of the summer he lived in the frozen tundra alone – studying the wolf population and developing a deep affection for these wild creatures (who were no threat to caribou or man) – is today celebrated as a classic of nature writing, at once a tale of remarkable adventure and an indelible record of the myths and magic of wolves.

On October 12, 1972, a plane carrying a team of young rugby players crashed into the remote, snow-peaked Andes. Out of the 45 original passengers and crew, only 16 made it off the mountain alive. For 10 excruciating weeks, they suffered deprivations beyond imagining, confronting nature head-on at its most furious and inhospitable. And to survive, these men and women not only had to keep their faith; they had to make an impossible decision: Should they eat the flesh of their dead friends?

Description
On an icy night in October 1984, a Piper Navajo commuter plane carrying nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of Northern Alberta, killing five people. Four survived: the rookie pilot, a prominent politician, a cop, and the criminal he was escorting to face charges. Despite the poor weather, Erik Vogel, the 24-year-old pilot, was under intense pressure to fly - a situation not uncommon to pilots working for small airlines. Overworked and exhausted, he feared losing his job if he refused to fly. Larry Shaben, the author's father and Canada's first Muslim cabinet minister, was commuting home after a busy week at the Alberta Legislature. After Paul Archambault, a drifter wanted on an outstanding warrant, boarded the plane, rookie constable Scott Deschamps decided, against RCMP regulations, to remove his handcuffs - a decision that profoundly impacted the men's survival. As they fought through the night to stay alive, the dividing lines of power, wealth, and status were erased, and each man was forced to confront the precious and limited nature of his existence. The survivors forged unlikely friendships and, through them, found strength and courage to rebuild their lives. Into the Abyss is a powerful narrative that combines in-depth reporting with sympathy and grace to explore how a single tragic event can upset our assumptions and become a catalyst for transformation.

Great true story but.....
I wished this story had been narrated by a man, especially one that was Canadian and had a better understanding of our Canadian language. That aside, I really enjoyed Carol Shaben's telling of this tragic story which included her father that survived the crash as well as the pilot, a police officer and a prisoner. This truly should be made into a movie. Well worth reading or listening to.

Important Canadian Story
I found the book riveting and I wish I had paid more attention to politics back in the 80s and knew more about Larry Shaben.
The narrator’s inability to pronounce Canadian names properly was irritating but her voice was otherwise easy to listen to.

A great story of survival and its aftermath
A great read for anyone interested in wilderness survival, plane crashes, Canadian history and/or the human experience. In the blink of an eye, four people’s lives are forever changed. How they survive a gruelling night injured and awaiting rescue and what they do with their lives afterwards makes for a compelling read. Well worth the listen. (As others have noted, it’s a bit odd that no one involved in the audio production noticed some rather glaring mispronounciations in the narration.)

Informative Personal Recount
Held my interest and sits with me still. As a northern Albertan and NDP supporter I was interested and greatly appreciated the personal stories of all affected by this tragedy. My heart goes out to the families of those who perished and also the survivors and their families. Their personal stories were both compelling and heartfelt. If the narrator and editors had made an effort to offer correct pronounciation of very commonly used French words, Metis for example, and proper nouns I would have given it a much higher mark. “Lougheed” is not only one of the largest American companies in aviation technologies, aircraft building, etc but also is a major highway right through the lower mainland Vancouver - home of the author- not to mention he was the premier of Alberta. You might want to pronounce his name right! Pronounciatians aside, I was also slightly annoyed by the narrator’s rhythm and emphasis within sentences. In my opinion could have been a whole lot better. Even got me wondering if I wanted it read by a man? Which wouldn’t have even crossed my mind without the narrator’s faults.

American narrator
Audible really needs to hire Canadian narrators for Canadian books! The narrator’s mispronunciation such common Canadian words and place names makes the audiobook the best laughable, at worst barely tolerable.
A bit of research by the narrator would have helped immensely. Easy names like Peter Loughheed was butchered but the best/worst was the attempted French pronunciation of Aylmer (Québec) as A-why-mer.
I hope someone from Audible reads this as I want them to refund my credit.

informative book
I really enjoyed the story but found the reader very poor in her understanding of Canada and its politics. Her mispronunciation of several key names was particularly annoying. Who doesn't know how to pronounce Lougheed??? It is not an unusual name. Drove me crazy!! The story however, was quite inspiring although I wish I would have read the book version as opposed to the audio.

A Story of True Canadian Heroisn
A well researched, well written story of tragedy and heroism in northern Alberta, Canada. The story grips one from the first page. The biggest fault is a narrator that has little understanding of Canadian pronunciations. The Alberta premier's name was slaughtered, and the narrator didn't even know how correctly to say the word "premier." I also spotted mispronounced town names. Why can't Audible ensure that its narrators know how to correctly pronounce all words in a book?

Great story hampered by bad narration
The story is a fascinating survival and redemption tale, very much worth reading for those interested in aviation, but the narrator's constant mispronunciation of words that she had every ability to look up before recording ranged from distracting to downright offensive. Putting aside her total inability to understand French pronunciation (it was like nails on a chalkboard every time she pronounced the s's in Deschamps) she bastardized the pronunciation of proper names of both individuals (Lougheed became Loog-eed) and entire people groups (the s is also silent in Metis!) and was even inconsistent in her errors, making it even more challenging to stay engaged in the story. Disappointing to hear a Canadian story so poorly told by an American voice.
Great book that deserves a better audiobook.

Whilst searching for Canadian writers this books came across my path as a must read. It was that indeed enjoyed every word, and as tears rolled down my face as the story ended; was happy and sad to have the story end.
