LOST

Brian Robertson, sole passenger on a Cessna 406, is on his way to visit his father when the tiny bush plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. With nothing but his clothing, a tattered windbreaker, and the hatchet his mother had given him as a present, Brian finds himself completely alone.

Challenged by his fear and despair -- and plagued with the weight of a dreadful secret he's been keeping since his parent's divorce -- brian must tame his inner demons in order to survive. It will take all his know-how and determination, and more courage than he knew he possessed.

I loved this book, I read it about 5 or 6 times, great book, you should read it.

I read it about 3 times over because it was so good and because that is what I usually do with books. I do not think I could survive without books, let alone the wilderness! Very impressive Brian, very impressive.

Great book
