In "Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II," author Mitchell Zuckoff takes you on an incredible journey back to November 1942. In the unforgiving Arctic, a US cargo plane crashes into the Greenland Ice Cap, followed by the loss of a B-17 on a search-and-rescue mission. Nine men are left stranded, fighting for survival against extreme weather conditions for 148 days.

Zuckoff's narrative is a thrilling blend of mystery and adventure, transporting you into the heart of the harshest environment on Earth. Fast forward to the present, and the Coast Guard, alongside North South Polar Inc. under Lou Sapienza's leadership, embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind the vanished Grumman Duck amphibious plane.

This book is not only a gripping tale of survival but also a tribute to the bravery of military personnel and the relentless determination of the US Coast Guard. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II and the enduring human spirit in the face of nature's most brutal challenges.
