to survive the tragedy."--New York Post

precision, engaged in both its characters and the larger social
moment... A worthy addition to the canon of extreme-survival
nonfiction."--Kirkus
"A story that has haunted Vancouver-based writer Carol Shaben,
Larry's daughter, since it happened... She was able to use
[Archambault's] story to take readers along on that stormy night,
to the side of a mountain where four men struggled to stay alive
overnight alongside the six others who had died."--Tracy Sherlock,
Vancouver Sun
"As a concept, it doesn't get much better [than this]... Into the
Abyss is in the best traditions of true-life journalism and grips
from beginning to end."--Iain Finlayson, The Times
"Electrifying...Shaben's riveting narrative is filled with heart
and the story is well told."--Publishers Weekly
"Gripping and emotionally affecting. . . a deep and satisfying
book."--Washington Post

telling the story in scouring yet respectful detail of the four men
who limped away from the fatal crash."--Fish Griwkowsky, Edmonton
Journal
"With Into the Abyss Carol Shaben gives us an astonishing true
story of catastrophe and redemption. Shaben writes from the inside
out, as in the best non-fiction, creating a nuanced and tightly
braided portrait of four men and their shared trauma that is by
turns terrifying and deeply humane. Every line in this story rings
true."--John Vaillant, author of The Tiger
