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.

Loved this book written by L'Amour but is not a western. It is written about a modern day Air Force Pilot but still has the fast moving adventure and thought that goes into all L'Amour books. You can not only follow through the pages of the book but also on a map and find every place Joe Mack travels. Very Very Good

This is not at all a typical Louis L'Amour book. It's not even a western. It's filled with suspense and a good read for everyone.

L'Amour transfers his tough-frontiersman to 1950s Siberia as he traces the long walk of an American test plane pilot snatched by Soviet baddies and sent to a Siberian prison camp, from which he promptly escapes and begins a long trek across some of the most hostile geography in the world.

This is quite a fascinating novel about escape and survival. My interest was held by "what can possibly happen next?"

This was one of the best that he wrote. It is contemporary story about an American Indian experimental aircraft pilot that must evade the Russians when his plane is forced down in Siberia.
