Издания и произведения

Двое друзей сплавляются на каноэ по реке в северной Канаде. Их всегда связывала любовь к горам, книгам и рыбалке, а теперь ещё и долгожданное путешествие. Долгие дни неторопливой гребли и сбора черники, созерцание звёзд по ночам, чтение вестернов в мягкой обложке на привале... Это ли ни мечта. Но лесной пожар, пробирающийся через лес, делает их путешествие намного более опасным, чем они рассчитывали. Однажды ночью, когда огонь приближался, они слышат, как мужчина и женщина спорят на окутанном туманом берегу реки; на следующий день на реке появляется мужчина, гребущий в одиночестве. Это тот же человек, которого они слышали? А если он, то…

Two Friends
Wynn and Jack have been best friends since their first day of college, brought together by their shared love of the great outdoors.
The Adventure of a Lifetime
When they decide to take time off university, canoeing down the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they anticipate the ultimate wilderness adventure.
No phones. No fellow travellers. No going back.
A Hellish Ride
But as a raging wildfire starts to make its way towards them and they stumble across a woman who has been brutally attacked and left for dead, the desperate race for survival becomes a much deadlier game of cat and mouse.

Wynn and Jack have been best friends since freshman orientation, bonded by their shared love of mountains, books, and fishing. Wynn is a gentle giant, a Vermont kid never happier than when his feet are in the water. Jack is more rugged, raised on a ranch in Colorado where sleeping under the stars and cooking on a fire came as naturally to him as breathing. When they decide to canoe the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they anticipate long days of leisurely paddling and picking blueberries, and nights of stargazing and reading paperback Westerns. But a wildfire making its way across the forest adds unexpected urgency to the journey. When they hear a man and woman arguing on the fog-shrouded riverbank and decide to warn them about the fire, their search for the pair turns up nothing and no one. But: The next day a man appears on the river, paddling alone. Is this the man they heard? And, if he is, where is the woman? From this charged beginning, master storyteller Peter Heller unspools a headlong, heart-pounding story of desperate wilderness survival.
