Every line in this story rings true."-John Vaillant, author of The Tiger "Electrifying...Shaben's riveting narrative is filled with heart and the story is well told."-Publishers Weekly "[T]his is a complex, chilling narrative rendered with depth and precision, engaged in both its characters and the larger social moment...

Into the Abyss is in the best traditions of true-life journalism and grips from beginning to end."-Iain Finlayson, The Times "The gripping account . . . is ultimately about the survivors, telling the story in scouring yet respectful detail of the four men who limped away from the fatal crash."-Fish Griwkowsky, Edmonton Journal "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 Product Description Wonderful story of the human will fro survival!
