ストーリー
This is a story of a London you won’t find in any guidebooks. This is a story about what it’s like to exist in the moment, about boys too eager to become men, growing up in the hidden war zones of big cities - and the girls trying to make it their own way. This is a story of reputations made and lost, of violence and vengeance - and never counting the cost. This is a story of concrete towers and blank-eyed windows, of endless nights in police stations and prison cells, of brotherhood and betrayal.

When Detective Casey White discovers the body of a beautiful teenage girl in a white nightgown near the shoreline in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, a familiar fear floods through her.

But it only takes one look to confirm that the girl with dark bruising around her throat is another family’s tragedy. Putting her own grief aside, Casey digs into unsolved missing child cases in the area. The victim is Cheryl Parry, one of two little girls taken during a family beach vacation nine years ago.

ストーリー
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

All is not well within the Unseen University. The endemic politics of the place have ensured that it has finally got what it wished for: the most powerful wizard on the disc - which could mean that the death of all wizardry is at hand. And that the world is going to end, depending on whom you listen to. Unless, of course, one inept wizard can take the University's most precious artefact, the very embodiment of magic itself, and deliver it halfway across the disc to safety.

Sometimes in medicine the only way to know what is truly going on in a patient is to operate, to look inside with one's own eyes. This book is exploratory surgery on medicine itself, laying bare a science not in its idealized form but as it actually is - complicated, perplexing, and profoundly human.

Detective Alan Auhl does things his own way - and gets results. He works cold cases now. Like the death of John Elphick - his daughters are still convinced he was murdered, the coroner not so sure. Or the skeleton that’s just been found under a concrete slab. Or the doctor who killed two wives and a girlfriend and left no evidence at all....
あらすじ・解説
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Erebus, written and read by Michael Palin.
In September 2014 the wreck of a sailing vessel was discovered at the bottom of the sea in the frozen wastes of the Canadian Arctic. It was broken at the stern and covered in a woolly coat of underwater vegetation. Its whereabouts had been a mystery for over a century and a half. Its name was HMS Erebus.
Now Michael Palin - former Monty Python stalwart and much-loved television globetrotter - brings this extraordinary ship back to life, following it from its launch in 1826 to the epic voyages of discovery that led to glory in the Antarctic and to ultimate catastrophe in the Arctic. He explores the intertwined careers of the men who shared its journeys: the dashing James Clark Ross who charted much of the 'Great Southern Barrier' and oversaw some of the earliest scientific experiments to be conducted there; and the troubled John Franklin, who at the age of 60 and after a chequered career, commanded the ship on its final, disastrous expedition. And he vividly recounts the experiences of the men who first stepped ashore on Antarctica's Victoria Land, and those who, just a few years later, froze to death one by one in the Arctic wastes as rescue missions desperately tried to reach them.
To help tell the story, he has travelled to various locations across the world - Tasmania, the Falklands, the Canadian Arctic - to search for local information, and to experience at first hand the terrain and the conditions that would have confronted the Erebus and her crew.
This is a wonderfully evocative and epic account, written by a master explorer and storyteller.

A compelling history, well told
I was searching for a book about Erebus, after watching 'The Terror' TV series, and was thrilled to see my favourite Python has written just such a book. By the time I finished the last chapter, I pressed play to restart the first one.

Epic tale, written and narrated by Michael Palin.
An enjoyable and easy listen from the always reliable Michael Palin. To be honest, Palin was the sole reason I downloaded this, knowing nothing about the story of Erebus. However it turned out to be a fascinating tale in its own right - the biography of HMS Erebus, part of a doomed expedition to Northern Canada, searching for the Northwest Passage in the early 1840s. Palin does an excellent job in laying out the story, examining life aboard ship, and the lives of those involved.

Everyone should listen to this book.
Where do you start?
Bill Bryson, no mean teller of a travelling tale, was bowled over by this book and exclaimed “Beyond terrific. I didn’t want it to end”.
Listening to the author reading his own words added a whole new dimension for me. The downside of course is that illustrations in the printed version are not available to the listener.
Perhaps that’s something Audible could work on, a way of digitising illustrations that could be downloaded for a fee to use in conjunction with listening to the relevant book.
The sheer bravery of the participants and their discipline and skill in the events recounted is mind boggling but in a way so is the mindset of the British establishment that they had the answer to every problem.
By treating the knowledge of Arctic survival perfected over millennia by the Inuit people with the greatest distain and ignoring their memories of meetings with survivors of the expedition, la great opportunity to save at least some of them was lost. My opinion of Charles Dickens has gone down a few notches after hearing what he had to say about the Inuit people.
The arrogance that “we know best”reared its head again in 1911 when Amundsen was first to the pole using clothing and transport based on Inuit experience. Scott didn’t listen and paid the ultimate price, although unlike Franklin he didn’t take every member of the expedition down with him.
Ironic that Amundsen was also the first man to navigate the North West Passage.
I admire Amundsen greatly. After listening to the nicest man in England reading his own book, I think he does too

Fascinating and engaging
I downloaded this recently and have already 'read' it twice, and tempted to go round a third time. The story is fascinating and is brought to life delightfully by Michael Palin. It is often a moot point as to whether it is best for an author to read their own work. In this case there is no doubt. Palin delivers the tale with the same easy charm, enthusiasm and wry amusement we know so well from his travel series. The pace is easy but never drags; he informs us about the technical aspects of the ships and their journeys but his focus is always mostly on the human aspects of the rigours of exploration, and the personalities involved. Naturally we miss the illustrations and maps which a traditional factual book would provide but this is more than made up for by having the author lead us through his own voyage of discovery of the tale of Erebus.

Story I never knew....
A gripping and fascinating story of the 'Erebus' and her sister ship Terror - being of a certain age my school days were filled with stories of Scott, Shackleton & Hilary but this is a story I had never heard.
A desperate struggle to discover the North West Passage and the terrible conditions endured by the crew of both ships. A truly heroic story brilliantly told by Michael Palin who obviously has a passion for the subject.
A brilliant read thoroughly recommended

A compelling listen
I'm a huge Palin fan and his latest offering didn't disappoint. I'm ashamed to say that I'd never heard of HMS Erebus before but the way MP intertwines the historical narrative with his own experiences of the countries and destinations is very interesting.
I feel with this book we had the best of both worlds: a smattering of Palin's travel log but the lion's share of the book taken up with the huge successes and ultimate demise of Erebus.
The historical research and the bringing back to life of men 150 years dead was beautifully done. I now feel compelled to visit The Arctic and experience the beauty and desolation for myself.

Totally absorbing
If you are interested in Arctic, especially Franklin's ill fated quest to find the northwest passage and the great Antarctic sea voyages of James Ross this is the book for you. Using HMS Erebus as the central piece for both Mariners were at stages it's Captain, Palin narrates a gripping series of adventures and misadventures of those who sailed in this famous British Ship. The book ends (spoiler alert) with the discovery of Erebus as a sea wreck well over 160 years since her disappearance and tragic loss of life. Palin's narration is completely engaging and draws you into and along. A superb history related with chutzpah.
