Robin Lloyd-Jones spent his childhood in India and now lives in Scotland. As well as writing, he is a sea-kayaking instructor, and is also a keen mountaineer.
'...he was tiring fast. The bear was less than twenty yards behind and gaining on him.'
When Adam signs on as cabin boy for a disastrous Arctic expedition, 150 years ago, he is little prepared for the amazing beauty and extreme demands of the West Greenland coast, not to mention the extraordinary survival skills of the local Inuit. Rising to the challenge of the ever-present danger surrounding him - from his shipmates, the ice, and the polar bears - he discovers the truth about his own past.
