Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

The U. S. has been devastated by worldwide financial collapse. Civilization as readers know it has disappeared. Marauding bands are terrorizing the countryside, killing and looting. Jeremy Bellamy Walthers' goal is to cross 2,000 miles of ravaged countryside to reach the security of his brother's Montana ranch. En route he befriends a wolf who becomes a partner and companion via verbal and nonverbal communication. The story deals with Jeremy's interaction with the wolf and the other human survivors of the economic collapse. Dickson has created another superior novel; it's colorful, well written, and peopled with well-developed, multidimensional characters. The wolf is especially fascinating. YAs who have cut their teeth on such works as George's Julie of the Wolves (Harper, 1972) or Mowatt's Never Cry Wolf (Little, 1963) will enjoy this survival story in sci/fi clothing. --John Lawson, Fairfax County Public Library, VA

3.0 out of 5 stars okay if you're really into wolves... April 3 2004
By John J. Conway
Format:Hardcover
Not a bad book,but not very good if you are a fan of Apocalypse fiction.The book concentrates on one man's journey from Michigan to Montana,in a Dark Ages USA after a World Financial Collapse (which isn't really explained).It is well written,but the book doesn't really go anywhere.The hero avoids any contact with people on his journey,so there is very little action or interaction.He hooks up with a wolf as a travelling companion,and from then on the book seems to become a study of wolf behavior.I'd recommend it only if you are into wolves or really into survival stories.

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time Aug 7 2002
By Elsbeth Martens
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Gordon Dickson has written one of the most boring books of all time. The story moves at a snails pace, lacking supporting characters, our main character is Jeebee (what kind of a name is that!) he is to weak a character to carry the story by himself. The other main is Wolf (again, what kind of a name is that?) He is just an animal, Gordon doesn't even make him special, just a wolf. The story ends in a most unsatisfacory fashion, there is no hope for a future, no real redemptive quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite books! July 18 2002
By TD
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read this book for the first time about 10 years ago. I have read it twice more since. It is simply one of the most enjoyable reads I have ever had. I have been hoping that Gordon comes back to these warm, great characters of Jeebe & Wolf and gives us a second book. It is just a great book. If you share my view of this try to find a copy of Sterling E. Laniers "Hiero's Journey" another great tale of comraderie between a man and his best friend who isn't quite human...
Gordon Dickson's a great writer.
