| 520 | |a Alaska's best-known storyteller offers a chilling collection of survival stories from pilots, hikers, hunters, climbers, boaters & fisherman who confront their mortality & find within themselves the courage & ingenuity to cheat death. Among others, the stories tell of a young man desperately clinging to life on an iceberg in the Susitna River; a woman struggling to escape the cockpit of a small plane sinking beneath the waters of a remote bay; two climbers fighting stubbornly to survive as an avalanche sweeps over them; & a diver engaging in a three-hour tug-of-war with an octopus. Here are true stories of Bush pilots, hikers, hunters, and others who faced death in the Alaska wilderness -- and lived to tell about it. | ||
