New Street Nautical Audio Publishes Arctic Voyaging Masterpiece

NEWPORT, R.I. - Aug. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- In June of 1994 Alvah Simon and his wife Diana set off in their 36-foot sailboat to explore the hauntingly beautiful world of icebergs, tundra, and fjords lying high above the Arctic Circle.

Four months later, unexpected events would trap Simon alone on his boat, frozen in ice 100 miles from the nearest settlement, with the long polar night stretching into darkness for months to come.

Originally published as a hardcover by International Marine/McGraw Hill in 1998, and as a paperback by Broadway Books/Random House in 1999, North to the Night: A Spiritual Odyssey in the Arctic tells the tale.

New Street Nautical Audio is proud to present this masterpiece in a beautifully produced audio edition narrated by premier voice-artist Robert Brown.

Critics have been unanimous in their praise of North to the Night:

Ocean Navigator: "Alvah Simon's is the best kind of adventure story, full or harsh conditions and narrow escapes. ... His book ranks easily with the best travel writing. ... An extraordinary account."

Washington Times: "A grand adventure on a vast and awesome scale, wrought onto paper by a writer with a true gift."

The New Street Nautical Audio edition of North to the Night runs 12 hours and 29 minutes, and is available from Audible, iTunes and Amazon.
