Product Description
Product Description
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.

Siberia. Brrrrr. An American Indian, Sioux warrior kicks some commie butts. I loved his wilderness survival techniques. If you want to try a Louis L'Amour, but haven't because you think he only writes westerns, then try this sweet book.

This is the best book that L'amour has ever written I have compared it to many other books such as the Jubal Sackett and the Haunted Mesa and this by far is one of the best books I have ever read.

This book is the best L'Amour I ever read. The descriptions of the tracker's skill in following the main character are accurate. The Indian character is a highly skilled outdoorsman whose ability to evade and conduct his own sort of guerrilla warfare against his pursuers makes this a book you won't be able to put down. One of the best books you'll ever read.

A brilliant book - the best adventure thriller I have read.
I suspect that Louis L'Amour has walked on Jo Mack's escape trail himself before writing this superb chase thriller. The story is brilliant and beautifully researched. Read more

good book
I really like that book: the story is great and there is a lot of suspence. But this book needs a sequel because there is no end of the story in this book. Read more
