“This novel is rich with facts, which Trout expertly weaves in with fiction. An Alutiq tribe member befriends the MacGregor family, offering cultural history. We meet characters throughout the Alaskan escapades that teach us about the environmental and political challenges threatening the wilderness. We learn historical history from the three Russian Orthodox priests. Trout offers an Alaskan tapestry of tales.” True North
Dr. Jack MacGregor, zoologist, once again takes his wife Dr. Mavis MacGregor, a famous paleontologist, sons Chris 18, and Ryan 12, and daughter Heather 14, on a great adventure battling the evil forces of the world who would endanger lives and destroy the environment. Having survived hurricanes in the Caribbean, ivory poachers in East Africa, and a Cairo crime syndicate racing up the Nile toward Luxor, the MacGregors head to the wilderness state of Alaska and encounter an unusual new threat from eco-terrorists, common anarchists, a rogue Vatican priest, and a corrupt Polish archaeologist. But with the aid of a retired librarian, three aging Greek Orthodox priests, and a seasoned F.B.I. agent, the MacGregors work desperately to save Alaska and possibly even the United States of America.
