Thank you, Susanne. :thumbs: I hope you're enjoying the adventures; I sure am.

I think you, as DPL, get to mark PL OK in the Magic Window. I understand LV frowns on a Reader marking his own efforts as "OK." Can't understand why. :roll:
Thanks for reminding me! For some reason I can no longer mark the MW on my phone or tablet but only on my laptop. And I forget :hmm:

Perfect! Although to end on that dramatic quote would have been appropriate too.

PL of Section 8 is okay.

What a marvelous description of the ascent of Denali. How agonizing it must have been to be so close to the summit and yet unable to cover the last meters.

That's the way of most exploratory attempts, I think. We tend to remember the successful ones. It's refreshing to read of those who tried hard but failed. :cry: Here's two more that didn't quite meet their goals:

Section 10-Chapter 08, The Exploration of New Guinea

PL of sections 9 and 10 are fine.

I don't know about you but for me this felt like a quick read/listen.

One more adventure....

I've broken the final chapter into two shorter sections. Here's the first section:

Section 11 - Chapter 09, Mount Everest, Part 1

NOW there should be only one to go... :D

..and here it is:

Section 12 - Chapter 9, Part 2, Mount Everest
https://librivox.org/uploads/craigdav1/thelastsecrets_12_buchan_128kb.mp3 (29:37)

Pending corrections from Susanne, the narration is complete, and I place it your capable hands, Dave. :thumbs: Thanks for keeping me straight on file names, etc. Most helpful.

Susanne...you are a diligent and prompt Proof Listener, and you make the book stronger. Thank you. :thumbs:

Thanks to the team!
