Produktbeschreibung
A Bear like no other . . . An accomplished Inuit hunter at fifteen, Nick Thrasher is about to bring home a caribou when he loses the meat to a fearsome creature never before seen in the wild. It's half grizzly, half polar bear. Wildlife experts will soon be calling it a "grolar bear." Back home in his Arctic village, Nick receives a letter from Ryan Powers, the half brother he has never met. On assignment for National Geographic, Ryan is coming north to photograph migrating caribou, and proposes Nick join him on a raft trip down the remote Firth River. Their adventure is barely underway when both are thrown into the freezing river, under a ceiling of solid ice. With nothing but Nick's knife and the clothes on their backs, Nick and Ryan fight to survive in a world of caribou, wolves, and grizzlies. All the while, the dreaded grolar bear stalks the land.
Autorenporträt
Will Hobbs is the award-winning author of nineteen novels, including Far North, Crossing the Wire, and Take Me to the River. Never Say Die began with the author's eleven-day raft trip in 2003 down the Firth River on the north slope of Canada's Yukon Territory. Ever since, Will has been closely following what scientists and Native hunters are reporting about climate change in the Arctic. When the first grolar bear turned up in the Canadian Arctic, he began to imagine one in a story set on the Firth River. A graduate of Stanford University, Will lives with his wife, Jean, in Durango, Colorado.
