Summary: Great Summer Read For Adventure Enthusists
Comment: The stories that one finds in Adrenaline 2000 takes the reader away, from the remotest deserts to the wildest oceans. Each story is richly written with entertaining results. You can actually feel the sense of dread and drama in "Desperate Passage" as the author travels on a Haitian ship packed with hopeful refugees bound for America; or the terrifying, paralyzing feeling of looking into the eyes of death while being attacked by a crocodile in "Being Prey." There's also the deep passionate sorrow one finds in the amazon, a place familiar with death, in the sad but heartfelt "Journey of The Pink Dolphins." All in all, each story tells of the most amazing thing of all, the human spirit- what man will do to survive or rescue their fellow man from certain death, even at great personal risk. This book is richly rewarding. Each account reads like a short story, yet the reader is seeing exactly what happened when the author was faced with his or her most trying moment. This is a good read.

Summary: Great Stuff!
Comment: Proof that the age of adventure hasn't passed us by. These thirteen stories will keep you reading all night. The fact that they've all been written in the last year gives them a relevence you can't always find in a story 50 years old. At the same time, several are built around the stories of earlier explorers, like the hunt for man-eating lions in Tsavo or the search for Mallory and Irvine, and these remind us that the world hasn't gotten any safer for those who go to extremes. The stories were well-chosen: I had not read any of them before. This will make a great gift book for anyone who enjoys adventure reading. The only complaint - it's about 100 pages shorter (265) than the other books in the series.
