When a snowstorm traps a pair of strangers in an abandoned cabin deep in the Alaskan bush, they have two work together or die. Search and rescue crews identify the missing persons as Richard Maynard, an Alaskan family man, and Mel Drummond, a city slicker from New York twenty years his junior. Hypothermia, starvation, and bloodthirsty wildlife aren't the only perils that face this unlikely and unlucky duo--a deadly specter from Richard's past threatens to catch up with him. The clock is ticking. Will a rescue party come knocking before it's too late? And if not, can Richard and Mel set aside their diffferences and do whatever it takes to survive?
A friend of mine wrote this book! I was happy to receive a signed copy for Christmas during a particularly competitive game of Monopoly at his cabin that is not the one referenced in this book. I have been to the one he talks about in here! It was the first remote cabin I had been to in Alaska.
It was a good book and it kept my attention. I enjoyed the story thoroughly and enjoyed how each person's narrative came to a head. I look forward to whatever John does next.
