'For sheer adventure L'Amour is in top form.'-Kirkus Reviews
Here is the kind of authentically detailed epic novel that has become Louis L'Amour's hallmark. It is the compelling story of U.S. Air Force Major Joe Mack a man born out of time. When his experimental aircraft is forced down in Russia and he escapes a Soviet prison camp he must call upon the ancient skills of his Indian forebears to survive the vast Siberian wilderness. Only one route lies open to Mack: the path of his ancestors overland to the Bering Strait and across the sea to America. But in pursuit is a legendary tracker the Yakut native Alekhin who knows every square foot of the icy frontier-and who knows that to trap his quarry he must think like a Sioux.
