Histoire
The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819 the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with 20 crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than 90 days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, and disease and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival.

Americans have long been taught that events such as the notorious My Lai massacre were "isolated incidents" in the Vietnam War, carried out by a few "bad apples." However, as award-winning journalist and historian Nick Turse demonstrates in this pioneering investigation, violence against Vietnamese civilians was not at all exceptional. Rather, it was pervasive and systematic, the predictable consequence of official orders to "kill anything that moves."

Histoire
On March 11, 2011, a powerful earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of northeast Japan. By the time the sea retreated, more than eighteen thousand people had been crushed, burned to death, or drowned. It was Japan’s greatest single loss of life since the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. It set off a national crisis and the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. And even after the immediate emergency had abated, the trauma of the disaster continued to express itself in bizarre and mysterious ways.

Histoire
In August 1897, the young Belgian commandant Adrien de Gerlache set sail for a three-year expedition aboard the good ship Belgica with dreams of glory. His destination was the uncharted end of the earth: the icy continent of Antarctica. But de Gerlache’s plans to be first to the magnetic South Pole would swiftly go awry. After a series of costly setbacks, the commandant faced two bad options: turn back in defeat and spare his men the devastating Antarctic winter, or recklessly chase fame by sailing deeper into the freezing waters.

In 1528, a mission set out from Spain to colonize Florida.

Of the 300 men who had embarked on the journey, only four survived - three Spaniards and an African slave.

In a strange world where she was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. The Hollywood machine packaged her as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them for profit.

In 1808, an American merchant ship happened upon an uncharted island in the South Pacific and unwittingly solved the biggest nautical mystery of the era: the whereabouts of a band of fugitives who, after seizing their vessel, had disappeared into the night with their Tahitian companions. Pitcairn Island was the perfect hideaway from British authorities, but after nearly two decades of isolation, its secret society had devolved into a tribalistic hellscape; a real-life Lord of the Flies, rife with depravity and deception.

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?

During World War II, in the middle of building an atomic bomb, the leaders of the Manhattan Project were alarmed to learn that Nazi Germany was far outpacing the Allies in nuclear weapons research; Hitler, with just a few pounds of uranium, would have the capability to reverse the entire D-Day operation and conquer Europe. So they assembled a rough and motley crew of geniuses—dubbed the Alsos Mission—and sent them careening into Axis territory to spy on, sabotage, and even assassinate members of Nazi Germany's feared Uranium Club.

In the pantheon of serial killers, Belle Gunness stands alone. She was the rarest of female psychopaths, a woman who engaged in wholesale slaughter, partly out of greed but mostly for the sheer joy of it. Between 1902 and 1908, she lured a succession of unsuspecting victims to her Indiana “murder farm". Some were hired hands. Others were well-to-do bachelors. All of them vanished without a trace.

Dueling Journals...

Auteur(s): Joan Druett
Description
From the number one best-selling author of The Boys in the Boat comes an unforgettable epic of family, tragedy, and survival on the American frontier.
“An ideal pairing of talent and material.... Engrossing.... A deft and ambitious storyteller.” (Mary Roach, New York Times Book Review)
In April of 1846, 21-year-old Sarah Graves, intent on a better future, set out west from Illinois with her new husband, her parents, and eight siblings. Seven months later, after joining a party of pioneers led by George Donner, they reached the Sierra Nevada Mountains as the first heavy snows of the season closed the pass ahead of them. In early December, starving and desperate, Sarah and 14 others set out for California on snowshoes and over the next 32 days endured almost unfathomable hardships and horrors.
In this gripping narrative, New York Times best-selling author Daniel James Brown sheds new light on one of the most legendary events in American history. Following every painful footstep of Sarah’s journey with the Donner Party, Brown produces a tale both spellbinding and richly informative.

One of the top ratings in my library
Author impressed me with his thoroughly engaging and professional treatment of this historic tragedy.
Contrary to some reviewers' panning of the narrator's style, I found him to be well suited for the role and enjoyed the book all the more. If I want animation I watch cartoons.
Overall, highly recommended.

Loved the book, at times it was a hard listen due to the sufferings the settlers had to endure throughout the book and especially towards the end but nevertheless these stories need to be passed down throughout the generations to show the lives of our ancestors isn't as glamorous as television shows

An Incredible Story & Dry Narration
Brown beautifully weaves the tragedy of the Donner Party together in a cohesive, gripping narrative. Glimpses of life during the American frontier are prevalent and engaging. The author masterfully avoids sensationalizing what is ultimately a story of human perseverance and the distance we are willing to go to save ourselves and those as love. Some may consider this an emotionally punishing read, and it should be - Brown does not hold back on details, and they only enrich the narrative presented.
I believe this book would've benefited from a more animated narrator. While the narration of the story was not horrible, it suffered from a lack of energy, which this story desperately needs in its darkest hours.
Nonetheless, an amazing story, and one that is highly recommended.

Immersive and Affecting
This chronicle has been described as "harrowing".. and that's accurate. Daniel James Brown chooses not to stick solely to names, dates, and actions - but informs his exploration of a famous tragedy by establishing the world around the Donner Party. His meticulous research into 1840s American life (and dedication to follow in the very footsteps of the victims) yields a strikingly true-to-life atmosphere - readers feel almost as if they were there. It leads to gut-punch contemplation and a solid - and sobering - understanding of the horrors that happened to these unfortunate people.
The prose is professional, the timeline is logically linear, and Brown largely avoids the temptation to fashion hypothetical dialogue. He does a masterful job setting the stage, describing the events per survivor testimony, and allowing his readers to draw conclusions.
Michael Pritchard turns in a reading performance best described as "competent". Yes, other reviewers are correct. His tone, cadence, and pacing are notably off, but I found his diction clear and his delivery never boring. Speeding playback to 1.15X corrected for the deficiencies in the performance.
One reviewer humorously described his reading as "with a Cowboy voice", however.
Haha.
But that observation is on-target..
Pritchard's delivery of Tom Clancy's action-heavy technothriller 'Rainbow Six' is nearly perfect, for example. One wonders why HarperAudio selected a genre-specific Pritchard for this project.
Miscast narration reduces the overall rating for 'The Indifferent Stars Above'. The paper iteration of the book is indisputably a 9.5/10 effort, but this audiobook version merits 7.5 stars out of 10.
(It's still worth a Credit)

Good book, inconsistent narration.
The story is fantastic. The detail in which he describes the terrible journey is incredible.
But the narration has moments where it sounds different. It’s almost as if different paragraphs were recorded in separate sittings with different engineers and then spliced together.
The narrator’s tone and cadence doesn’t change, but the quality of the audio oscillates.
