In Royce Scott Buckingham's Impasse, a man is left to die in Alaska while on an "adventure vacation" and must somehow survive to get his revenge on those who betrayed him.

Forty and facing a midlife crisis, Stu Stark has lost his mojo. He simply gave up after being fired from his prestigious job as a prosecuting attorney for losing the biggest case of his career. So when Stu's best friend gifts him a one-week trip into the Alaskan wilderness to rediscover his manhood, Stu thinks it just might do him some good. But after a horrible week, Stu is crushed when he realizes no one is coming back for him.

Dying, Stu is found by a grizzled, old hunter who informs him that winter has set in, and they're not going anywhere for a while. So begins Stu's training to become the man he never was...and to get revenge on those who betrayed him.

This adult debut by the internationally best-selling YA author is a modern-day take on The Count of Monte Cristo.

So what makes this one so good? Well there's quite a few things. It moves quickly and builds momentum as it goes. There is the impending sense of doom the reader faces in the lives of each character. The contrast between shallowness and depth of character, hard work and laziness, ambitition and greed, innocence and guilt that flows through virtually every chapter of the book. It is well written and extremely well read.

I cant help but compare this to The Count of Monte Cristo on several levels. To go further in the camparison would reveal too much. Suffice to say it is a very clever plot with a unique take and entirely new subject matter.

I cant imagine any fan of the mystery/thriller genre not enjoying this one.

A Truly Great Crime/Revenge Novel

Fun, story. Some parts are longer then they should be while some are shorter. Narration was also pretty good.

Almost Really Good

Knowing the story of The Count of Monte Cristo I was eager to get to climax. It was like listening to a remixed version of your favorite song waiting for the finale. While the take on the classic was good, this story, much like a remake, was not as good as the original. I don't want to suggest I didn't enjoy it; but, I did finish the story wanting more from it. This would have been a better story if I had not already read TCoMC.

Watered down The Count of Monte Cristo

This has the makings of a very good story and plot. Author tried to make it sound too unbelievable with all the little coincidental stories. Made story too unreal and unbelievable. Should have let one of the established Scandinavia authors insert some reality in to it.

This was really an enjoyable listen. A clever storyline with characters I cared about and great narration! What more could you ask for?

What I really liked was seeing the main character, Stu, go through changes as he left his mild mannered, follow the rules kind of guy to the man he becomes. How he gets there is part of the fun. What he does with what he learns is a great revenge story. I also learned a lot from this book- how to snare small game, the many uses of tampons (really), and many other tools for how to survive in the wilderness.

There were a few scenes that I thought were not necessary to the overall plan of this book-but not enough to make a real difference.

This was a new author for me--glad I didn't pass this one by.

Suspense, Murder, Revenge, and FUN too!

You can't put it down. One of those great reads you hope will never end. Very engrossing. You will enjoy Impasse

One of the best reads this year.

Would you listen to Impasse again? Why?

This book was greatly satisfying. I couldn't help but cheer for the main character and the revenge was sweet in the end. I really enjoyed this revenge book. It was fast paced and way too short, but it was still a five star for me.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character, of course. He didn't complain or make excuses for his weakness. When it came time to deliver, he gave his best effort.

Which character – as performed by Allan Robertson – was your favorite?

All the charcters where distinctive and greatly narrated.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ending was great! I was smiling as I herd the sweet ending.

Any additional comments?
