Bookroo's summary

Brian Robeson, seasoned by the wild, discovers a wounded dog while camping alone. Sensing danger, he fears for his Cree friends to the north. With the dog as his companion, Brian embarks on a tense journey, driven by instinct and a growing unease. What threat lurks in the wilderness, and can Brian uncover the truth before it's too late? This gripping adventure explores the bond between man and nature, and the mysterious ties between humans and animals.

From the publisher

Millions of readers of” Hatchet, The River, Brian’s Winter,” and “Brian’s Return” know that Brian Robeson is at home in the Canadian wilderness. He has stood up to the challenge of surviving alone in the woods. He prefers being on his own in the natural world to civilization. When Brian finds a dog one night, a dog that is wounded and whimpering, he senses danger. The dog is badly hurt, and as Brian cares for it, he worries about his Cree friends who live north of his camp. His instincts tell him to head north, quickly. With his new companion at his side, and with a terrible, growing sense of unease, he sets out to learn what happened. He sets out on the hunt. “From the Hardcover edition.”
