Audie Award Finalist, History, 2014

On November 5, 1942, a U.S. cargo plane slammed into the Greenland ice cap. Four days later, a B-17 on the search-and-rescue mission also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on the B-17 survived. The U.S. military launched a second daring rescue operation, but the Grumman Duck amphibious plane sent to find the men vanished.

In this thrilling adventure, Mitchell Zuckoff offers a spellbinding account of these harrowing crashes and the fate of the survivors and their would-be saviors. Frozen in Time places us at the center of a group of valiant airmen fighting to stay alive through 148 days of a brutal Arctic winter until an expedition attempts to bring them to safety. But that is only part of the story. In present-day Greenland, Zuckoff joins the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. on a dangerous expedition to recover the remains of the lost plane's crew.

Frozen in Time is a breathtaking blend of mystery, adventure, heroism, and survival. It is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and their families - and a tribute to the important, perilous, and often overlooked work of the U.S. Coast Guard.

I am a man. Not really! I'm just a wimp. You probably are too. Now this true book will tell you the story of real men; men of unimaginable courage, strength, faith, self-sacrifice, endurance, guts, fortitude, intelligence, know-how, skill, ... more. This is one of my favorite books of all time. Zuchoff brings it all together in a masterpiece. Look up his other books too - you won't be disappointed.

This book is exceptional. The author narrates and he is a wonder reader. Lovely voice. Gripping. I was really interested in this story and I had somehow never heard about it before my dad recommended this to me. Well done. Will listen again.

As a retired CG officer and pilot, I stayed in Pritchard Hall more times than I can count. I had the honor of knowing both Captain King and Captain Long. I knew the overall story but can’t begin to express my deepest appreciation for all those responsible for this book’s filling in the details. An epic tale of adventure and heroism not to be missed or forgotten. Sempre Paratus Ds

Great story. These men deserve their story to be read and remembered. Wish I had read it rather than listened. The reader was a bit fast and difficult to grasp all the detail. Well worth the read.

Heroism at its finest.
