About this ebook
"Vividly rendered disasters and close calls" fill this collection of true adventures. . . . as well as "valuable lessons about character, loyalty and courage" ( Publishers Weekly).
Alaska is like no other state and few countries; men experience greater risk in her arms. This one-of-a-kind anthology captures the spine tingling adventures of daring men and women who venture into Alaska's vast wilderness and look death in the eye. Danger Stalks the Land relates gripping episodes of animal attacks, avalanches, aircraft disasters, fishing, hunting, and skiing accidents, and chronicles risky climbs and reckless mountaineering amid Alaska's fantastic peaks.
Through exhaustive research and interviews, author Larry Kaniut has captured in one volume, the terror and beauty of man's attempt to explore a vast and unforgiving land.
"Kaniut is a good storyteller." — School Library Journal
"Larry Kaniut has a heart after Alaska, a nose for wilderness adventure, and the instincts of a timber wolf for cutting to the chase." —Spike Walker, author of Working on the Edge and Nights of Ice
