Friday October 18th - The Wager, David Grann

In this true historical narrative, David Grann recounts the harrowing tale of an 18th-century shipwreck survivor who makes a dangerous bet to save himself and return to civilization. "The Wager" is a story of survival, betrayal, and the extraordinary lengths to which people will go to honour a debt.
