SURVIVING GALERAS

Written in the tradition of adventure stories about expeditions where things go wrong, Surviving Galeras tells about the eruption of a Colombian volcano and the men and women who survived while at its peak. Stanley Williams, who led the expedition, describes how he and others escaped and how each perceived the event. Robert Ready narrates superbly, fully capturing Williams's recollections as well as his humility in the face of many deaths. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
