Alaska

Rick Spears is a man of many skills and interests. An avid outdoorsman who loves camping, hunting, and writing, he has challenged himself to the ultimate adventure: a solo trek into the Alaskan wilderness, the home of countless predators who will have no fear of him. In the past, he had traveled in relative safety on hunting trips. Accompanied by just a few members from his hunt club and a photographer, they had encountered little danger. But now, hes going it alone in regions where he cant rely on help from the outer world. If things turn deadly, no one will even be able to hear his call for help, let alone respond to it. For the first time in his life, he will be truly alone with only his wits to keep him alive. He cant wait. Driven by adrenaline and ambition, Rick has spent months planning his adventure. He wants to write a book about a solitary life in the wilderness, a life without electricity or modern comforts, in the hopes of experiencing something that approximates what the old-timers endured. He knows that the only way to write that story with any credibility is to live through it himselfassuming he survives.
