This book’s full title is Alone Against the North: An Expedition into the Unknown. Adam Shoalts is a great Canadian explorer. This is probably his first book. He wants to follow an unknown river in the Hudson Bay lowlands. He tries a number of times with friends, but ends up finding and following the river by himself. Adam Shoalts is a great story teller and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Adam Shoalts has a web site that lists his books.
Some of the reviews on this book talk about Adam Shoalts treatment of his friend Brent. I read this book after reading some of his later books. He is more mature in the later books. His treatment of Brent was not great, but I think the books shows him starting to be a story teller which is clearer in later works.
See a review of this book on Good Reads. There is an interesting review on Quill and Quire. This review also talks about Adam’s relationship and attitude to his friend Brent. On the Story Graph site the reviews vary quite a bit from denouncing Adam Shoalts as a jerk to be fascinated by his final adventure on the Again River.
There is a CTV News /a> interview that is short with some great pictures. This is an interesting interview called Whisky Fireside Chat . Interviewer is Kevin Callan who is also an author and one that Adam Shoalts has read.
An index of the books I have reviewed are on my website at Books. I have three blogs. The first talks only about specific stocks and is called Investment Talk . The second one contains information on mostly investing and is called Investing Economics Mostly. My last blog is for my book reviews and it is called Non-Fiction Mostly. Follow me on Twitter.
