    A Book You Hate To Put Down

    From it's very first pages to the final chapter, Jennifer Niven's The Ice Master captures and holds the reader spellbound. A truly exciting and romantic adventure into the past. Into the lives of these brave souls who hazarded their lives to achieve what most today would consider impossible. The Ice Master is a tale of true heroism and tragedy from the final years of polar exploration in wooden sailing ships. Not only a book I hated to put down, but one that I wish had no final chapter! Magnificent. Martin L. Klein

    Nonfiction better than fiction.

    Author did a great job researching the subject and writes so you feel that you are there. Reading about this adventure and hardships they went through make your problems seem small.

    The Ice Master

    I originally purchased this book because I had recently been informed that Capt. Bob Bartlett is a distant relative, or cousin to my Grandfather to be exact. When I looked him up on the internet of course pages of information came up. I bought the book for that reason but really found a fascinating story about the Karluk Expedition as a whole. An absolutely fascinating story and totally unbelievable experience for what these men endured. Very interesting because it happened, and I am surprised a movie hasn't been produced. I am so glad Jennifer Niven decided to choose this small part of history to write about. Thank You Jennifer an absolutely great job.
