Story
The Last Viking unravels the life of the man who stands head and shoulders above all those who raced to map the last corners of the world. In 1900, the four great geographical mysteries - the Northwest Passage, the Northeast Passage, the South Pole, and the North Pole - remained blank spots on the globe. Within twenty years Roald Amundsen would claim all four prizes.

Overall a fantastic book about a fascinating figure. Given how much Amundsen did in his life, the author does a good job of giving adequate details without getting bogged down in the minutia. The reader's performance is good, though he mispronounces several words repeatedly (but at least consistently)--but that's me nitpicking. I absolutely don't regret spending my audible credit on this title and would definitely recommend it!
