These words, spoken to Brian
Robeson, will change his life. Two years earlier, Brian was stranded
alone in the wilderness for fifty-four days with nothing but a small
hatchet. Yet he survived. Now the government wants him to do it
again--to go back into the wilderness so that astronauts and the
military can learn the survival techniques that kept Brian alive.
This
time he won''t be alone: Derek Holtzer, a government psychologist, will
accompany him to observe and take notes. But during a freak storm,
Derek is hit by lightning and falls into a coma. Their radio
transmitter is dead. Brian is afraid that derek will die of dehydration
unless he can get him to a doctor. His only hope is to build a raft
and try to transport Derek a hundred miles down the river to a trading
post--if the map he has is accurate. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
