Synopsis
Two days before the great fire-bomb raid on Tokyo in the last months of WWII, an American gunner, his bomber hit by anti-aircraft fire, parachutes into the city. Once on the ground, he must keep moving and - as he begins his trek north, away from burning Tokyo - his escape route becomes a journey of discovery about himself and the nature of war and man.
This is a riveting story of raw survival and adventure, the sort of lone-man-against-the-odds scenario that Dickey showed us so successfully in "Deliverance". A Brilliance audio exclusive.

From the Publisher
"The book's closest forebear may be Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea... an exhilarating ride."--The New Yorker
From the Inside Flap
Award-winning and best-selling author James Dickey returns with the heart-stopping story of Muldrow, an American tail gunner who parachutes from his burning airplane into Tokyo in the final months of World War II. Fleeing the chaotic, ruined city, he instinctively travels north toward a frozen, desolate sanctuary he is certain will assure this survival--and freedom. Making his way through enemy terrain, on the lookout for both danger and opportunity, Muldrow's journey becomes the flight of a pure predator. Moving through the darkness, bombarded by haunting visions that consume his imagination, every step in his violent odyssey brings him closer to a harrowing climax that is pure James Dickey.
