23 Shackleton Ranulph Fiennes

The enthralling life, endurance and incredible leadership of Sir Ernest Shackleton, told by the world's greatest living explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes.

To write about Hell, it helps if you have been there.

In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton's attempt to traverse the Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice. What followed became legend.

Throughout the long, dark Antarctic winter, Shackleton fights for his life and the lives of his men - enduring freezing , a perilous lifeboat journey through the ice- strewn sea, and a punishing march across the South Georgia glaciers to seek the one slim chance they have of rescue. Their situation is disastrous.

Their survival would become history's most enthralling adventure. Yet Shackleton's critics have argued that the expedition was always doomed to fail. And that had Endurance not been destroyed by ice, his men would have suffered a slow and horrible death before completing their journey.

No previous biographer has experienced even a tiny taste of the polar hell on earth endured by Shackleton and his men. That cannot be said of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who has been described as 'our greatest living explorer'. From Shackleton's pursuit of adventure as a young merchant seaman, through his rivalry with Captain Scott, culminating in the two remarkable September 2021 expeditions to Antarctica that revealed his unrivalled 9780241356715 leadership and personal courage under the most extreme of Royal Octavo circumstances, Fiennes brings the story vividly and viscerally to £20.00 : Hardback life, his own near-death on the ice, fifty years after his 416 pages subject's death, providing the necessary proof to silence Shackleton's critics once and for all.

Ranulph Fiennes is the only man alive ever to have travelled around the Earth's circumpolar surface (more people have been on the Moon!). His record-breaking expeditions include travel by riverboat, hovercraft, man-haul sledge, skidoo, Land Rover and skis. He is also the bestselling author of titles such as Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know, and the biography Captain Scott.

Assassinations, government plots and a centuries-old crime - a thrilling return to the bestselling The Left Hand of God series

Welcome those of you from the Old World. Welcome to the New.

Mankind's most reluctant hero - Thomas Cale - is back.

Cale is through running from his enemies. He's survived the Sanctuary attempts to kill him. He's survived being betrayed by his greatest love. He's survived heaven, hell and everything in between.

But then he stumbles into the kind of world events that not even a mercenary as wily as Cale can escape. Because, as the poets say, where Thomas Cale goes a funeral surely follows.

Paul Hoffman is the author of three previous novels, The Last Four Things (2011), The Left Hand of God (2010), The Beating of His Wings (2013), The Golden Age of Censorship (2007), a black comedy based on his experiences as a film censor and The Wisdom of Crocodiles (2000), which predicted the collapse of the world financial system.
