The book is called "Entering Tenebrea" by Roxann Dawson and Daniel Graham
(assuming the transcriber got the spellings right). That's from the
transcript of the show on Lexis-Nexis. It might or might now show up on
their posted list, since it was mentioned by a listener who called in.
Apparently Dawson was an actress on "Star Trek: Voyager," incidentally.

Well, it's not as if "Tenebrae" is a word you hear all the time, even on
NPR. Speaking of that, I realized in the clear light of morning that it must
indeed have been spelled wrong in the Lexis-Nexis transcript I copied it
from. Sure enough: The correct title is "Entering Tenebrae," not "Tenebrea"
as earlier reported. It's published in paperback by Pocket Books and
promises to be book one of a trilogy.

Tenebrea: (Latin) shadow darkness -- the liturgical office of matins and lauds sung on the last three days of the Holy Week, with a ceremony of candles.
I hope this doesn't start a theological disagreement that I am ill-prepared to participate in! Like Jeff, I would have bet on Tenebrae. I may have to read this book out of curiosity.

OK, I don't know what the darn spelling is -- they both come up in web
searches and both work on Amazon.com. It may well be "Entering Tenebrea"
after all, in which case, my apologies to those hard-working transcribers at
Lexis-Nexis.

Actually, it's been done and it was W Hodding Carter that went on a trek
in a Viking ship. The book is An Illustrated Viking Voyage (or A Viking
Voyage Illustrated) by Carter (the other Carter of the Carter presidency)
