A Good Survival Yarn
A good survival yarn, well told. Perhaps not quite as tastefully crafted as it could have been in my opinion, but still very, very good. Tim Pigott-Smith's reading voice is excellent - unfortunately the recording is such that many of the very beginnings and ends of his sentences are barely audible. Still, both the story and the reading are very good - definitely worthwhile.

Engrossing Narrative
This relation of a near-disaster during an expedition to Antarctica is absolutely captivating. Alfred Lansing draws from planning/execution documents, ship manifests, memoirs, and actual interviews to construct a startlingly relatable tale about courage & force-of-will leadership (I can't help but contrast Ernest Shackleton's actions with those of Sir John Franklin 70 years earlier). The book is well-written, richly descriptive, and constructed nicely (yes, chronological - but with judicious cutaways & exceedingly human vignettes among the survivors - made up songs & poems, betting games, etc).
Reader Tim Pigot-Smith does the book justice with an outstanding narration, too. Mr. Pigot-Smith exhibits commendable diction, timbre, and cadence - but also a remarkably interested tone and well-thought-out voice-acting (avoiding accents when reading quotes, for example). Blackstone Audio Inc. pulled off a coup when they cast this project.
Altogether, 'Endurance' rates 9 stars out of 10. As an included selection with my Audible subscription, I feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled on it.. because it would merit a Credit if they asked for one.
