AJ's Reviews > Realm of Ice and Sky: Triumph, Tragedy, and History's Greatest Arctic Rescue

First, I must genuinely thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of Buddy Levy’s gripping epic “The Realm of Ice and Sky.” Always keeping up with his latest works, I was honored to read the next incomprehensible story of Artic exploration.

Levy’s narrative is beautifully constructed into three entirely different, yet related accounts of Arctic exploration and rescue. The reader is riding passenger for these daring adventures of flight, yes flight, to and over the North Pole in the early 20th century. A sense of doom looms large and eerily close throughout the entire story, keeping the reader gripped to the edge of their chosen reading spot as if sitting in the seats of one of the dubious flying machines.

Carefully researched, with “The Realm of Ice and Sky,” Buddy Levy depicts an unforgiving, powerful landscape that drew some of the world’s greatest explorers and bonded them in an ultimately deadly quest for discovery.

I’ll be adding it to my bookshelves as soon as it hits stores. Well done.
