Stories of Survival : Land and Sea : Triumphs &; Tragedies transports you to various remote destinations around the world, from the highest mountain peaks, to the Labrador coast and beyond. These spellbinding stories of adventure, survival, and tragedies, are sure to keep every listener captivated. Experience what world explorers and adventure seekers endured, from accidents, to natural disasters and treacherous weather conditions. The two titles, Storm and Rescue, compile 19 vivid stories from adventure seekers in their most terrifying and memorable moments.

Storm

Most people associate storms with death-with the kind of force that makes each of us wonder about life and the nature of our surroundings. Some people look for bad weather, or go to places where they are likely to encounter it. Others are at the wrong place at the wrong time. Still, the stories in Storm have more to say than that. They tell us about what happens when people find that treacherous weather-or when it finds them-and we are reminded of the fragility of life, the capriciousness of Natures will, and how little we can do when both cross paths.

Rescue

Rescue offers riveting stories about what happens when things go terribly wrong in some of the worlds most perilous places: the wild west, the Grand Tetons, a remote lake in northern Quebec, the Eiger, and the Labrador coast. The result is a collection of first-rate prose read by masterful narrators that makes for compulsive listening. This title is also the winner of the Listen Up Award from Publishers Weekly.
