While the travails of Fletcher's summit attempt pale in comparison to the intrigue of the predator awaiting him on his descent, readers will marvel at the author's ordeal with the bear and his resourcefulness, determination and, perhaps most of all, good fortune. People are always curious about where ideas come from I am too but its usually an impossible question to answer. The best parts, however, deal with Fletcher's encounters with the enraged grizzly, particularly in the final confrontation, which occupies the last quarter of the book the story of his battle with the mother bear makes for some good page-turning nonfiction.

1 The novel is the fourth in Gardner's 'League of Peoples' series, after Expendable (1997), Commitment Hour (1998), and Vigilant (1999). As if that weren't enough, his life is also put in danger when he is nearly entombed in a sinkhole of rubble and, later, when he pushes to the summit in the face of an approaching blizzard. Hunted is a science fiction novel written by Canadian author James Alan Gardner, and published in the year 2000 by HarperCollins Publishers under its various imprints. From there, he is ruthlessly tracked by the cub's mother. Early on, he is startled by a grizzly cub and reacts by hurling his ice-ax and killing the animal. Fletcher offers a step-by-step account of his ultimately successful attempt to hike into the backwoods of some of America's roughest terrain and reach the summit of Mount Hess.

Fletcher, an experienced climber and adventurer, recounts 10 days of terror in the Alaskan wilderness with this rather unspectacular telling of an otherwise spectacular tale. notified when Mila Youngs next novel is released, please sign.
