Part 2 of the Train to Nowhere Trilogy
North Woods Survival Series - Book 2 of 4
Bloodied. Barely conscious. Freezing. And he can't even remember his own name.
A teenage boy wakes beside a railway track in the middle of nowhere.
It's night.
It's the dead of winter.
And he has absolutely no idea how he got there.
His memory is gone. He doesn't know where he is, where he came from, or even his own name. The only clue is a backpack buried beneath a foot of snow beside him.
But there's no time to figure out what happened.
If he doesn't get moving, he's going to freeze to death.
Fortunately, there's one thing his mind hasn't forgotten-how to survive.
Armed with only the winter clothing he's wearing, the mysterious contents of the backpack, and his knowledge of wilderness survival and bushcraft, he sets out along the snow-covered railway tracks in a desperate search for safety.
But the winter wilderness is unforgiving.
Hypothermia. Dehydration. Hunger. Exhaustion. Predators. Bitter cold.
Each new challenge pushes him closer to his physical and mental limits.
He must build shelter, find food, make fire in freezing conditions, read animal tracks, improvise snowshoes, and use whatever the wilderness provides to stay alive.
All while one question refuses to go away...
Who is he-and what happened to him?
Then, just when survival finally seems possible, another danger emerges.
One he never sees coming until it's almost too late.
