Beyond Survival

About the Book

BEYOND SURVIVAL is a novel of a near impossible survival in Canada's high north.

When three people survive an aeroplane crash in northern Ontario in late October, they are faced with surviving bitter cold and starvation. Their survival tools are a shotgun and a handful of shells, an axe, and a few yards of rope.

Given up for dead, they must survive the winter, find food in a hostile terrain, and finally walk two hundred and fifty miles in springtime, to the nearest settlement. Summer proves more hostile than winter, but Mighty Manitou, The Great Spirit, blesses their courage and leads them to a life that most people only dream about.

Three years after being rescued, they revisit the crash site and their lives are changed forever! Beyond Survival will make you laugh and make you cry - it will warm the coldest heart and chill the hottest blood. Chances are, you will want to buy the book for your family and your closest friends.
