“Linked themes of the great outdoors, of the frontier, of pitting oneself against nature and against aboriginal inhabitants of various species.”

Times Literary Supplement

“Excellently done, slipping in and out between impressionism and straight narrative and very excitingly conveying the reality … of men past the end of their endurance.”

Listener (UK)

“Haunting … survival, courage, and heroes are examined beautifully and simply.”
