Overview

"This story is inspired by true events... Carl was an inexperienced pilot and the assignment he was given was beyond his abilities. He was to fly two young teenagers through Merrill Pass in the middle of a spine of tall mountains known as the majestic Alaska Range. Mistakes were made, fatal mistakes, and the unforgiving nature of the mountain pass took a terrible toll on Carl, his young teenage passengers, and his newly rebuilt ""bush"" aircraft. Survival in this rugged landscape in one of the last great wildernesses of North America took guts and courage and luck. Eli and Lori found themselves in circumstances few have experienced since the last great Ice Age. A wolf pack and its leader dogged their trail and sought to kill what had invaded their secluded domain. Tomorrow was not promised to these two teenagers as they fought to survive the challenges of the Last Great Frontier. Here, where silences reign supreme, the howl of the ferocious Alaskan wolf is a threat to be reckoned with."
