SynopsisHere 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.

Extraordinary One Man Russian Survival Saga
In a variation on a heroic cowboy saga, this special forces style military man is captured in Russia. He uses his exceptional skill base and physical fitness to engage in escape and hidden survival, when hunted by the Russians. Well written by this popular author, this book is recommended.

Favorite book and author
The book was as advertised. Shipping was great and well packaged. It's a favorite book that I was replacing an old paperback held together with s rubberband.

A Siberian Adventure
A great adventure story, one of the few he wrote not of the western genre. It ends abruptly and I think he had more planned but he died. I believe it was published posthumously. A story of survival in the Siberian winter while being pursued by the Soviets. And at the end, a little bonus. The protagonist is talking to an old man on the Bering shore and Olaf Swenson is mentioned. If you look up Olaf, he wrote a book about trading in Siberia "Northwest of the World". It is also well worth reading.

The best Louis Lamoure I have read.
I never was a big Louis LaMoure fan but this book really caught me and I enjoyed it very much. It was not a western....as they say...but the main character was an American Indian. Loved the story. The book, though used, was in excellent condition.

Awesome book to read
While the majority of the work from this author is "Western" stories, this book is written in the present day setting. It is an AWESOME read.
