A mild-mannered Alaskan hunting guide is forced to the brink of madness in a fight against bears—and against humans, the most skillful predators of all. Sam Eastman has just lost his guide license. An old friend and mentor, Bill Harms, tells him about a job nursemaiding some unique clients. At first, Eastman's job seems simple enough—babysit reclusive Mr. Nakamura and his beautiful secretary, Yosi, through a six-week wilderness vacation on one of Alaska's Aleutian Islands. Sam soon finds his clients have a secret and he finds himself fighting for survival.

Ron Hess, himself a hunter, has served on a Fish & Wildlife ship
in the Aleutian Islands and has been stalked by a bear.
