Synopsis

Will Kincaid's wildlife experience and dedication be enough to save the Northern Fur Seal from extinction? James, I'm sending you and Moaka into a powder keg situation in the middle of the Bering Sea. If you are not killed by the illegal freelance sealers, some politician will have your butt for slowing finances into political coffers, or worse yet for creating an international incident. James Kincaid, wildlife biologist, is assigned to the Pribilof Islands to help the United States Treasury Department control the illegal killing and halt the extinction of the northern fur seal. James and his Inuit guide, Moaka, arrive on the islands from the North Slopes of Alaska to discover the northern fur seal is being slaughtered by several countries, including illegal freelance sealers from the United States. The sealing industry is very profitable and the fur from the northern fur seal is in big demand around the world. As men risk their lives for the bounty of the islands, the challenges for James and Moaka become increasingly dangerous. The story combines historical events with intrigue, romance, and high adventure, and has James and Moaka engaged in a struggle to restrain the massacring of fur seals while trying to rescue their wives from freelance kidnappers.

About this title

About the Author:

Being a native of Idaho, Curtis has always been close to wild game, good fishing, and high mountains. He traveled extensively throughout the world while serving in the Marines and later in life as a tourist, during his working years and after retirement. In each country he visited, his interest in the country s cultures and traditions were of the upmost importance. For many years, he has worked closely with the Idaho Fish and Game protecting and establishing wildlife habitat, and has given numerous presentations concerning best management practices of rivers and reservoirs. Alaska has always sparked his interest, especially during the period of time just after the initial purchase from Russia. Having traveled broadly in Alaska and being inquisitive about the ancient traditions of the Eskimo people, Curtis was driven to write about the opening of the new frontier.
