"All this--the forest, the wilderness--it is my home. With each day I find myself regressing. In here"--he put a hand over his heart--"I am an unreconstructed Indian. I am supposed to be escaping, and to win my own battle, I must escape. Nevertheless, in many ways I'd rather stay here." (L'Amour 208)

I think that this quote is especially important because it outlines how Joe Mack, the main character, is connected with his Native American Sioux tribe heritage, which has assisted him throughout almost all of the book.

More By and About This Author

Readers of L'Amour's Westerns and his recent medieval saga The Walking Drum will not be disappointed by this contemporary epic. Proving that he is above all a great raconteur, the prolific L'Amour sets his latest in Siberia where a downed American test pilot, Joseph ""Joe Mack'' Makatozi, has been taken after his capture by the Russians. Part Sioux, Joe Mack escapes prison only to face the seemingly impossible odds of getting across Siberia to the Bering Strait, where like his ancestors, he can cross into North America. Joe Mack is a classic American hero, thrown back into the wilderness and forced to rely on his wits and his ancestral skills to survive the deadly cold and elude his Soviet pursuers, including his nemesis, a Siberian tracker. L'Amour brings the same colorful realism to this sweeping adventure that has made his Westerns so beloved. 350,000 copy first printing; Literary Guild main selection. ( July)

The book review uses a great choice of words by describing Joe Mack's struggle as facing "seemingly impossible odds". I think this because it was absolutely no simple task for Joe to traverse the unforgiving lands of Siberia, Russia.
