An epic “larger-than-life action-melodrama” of friendship, betrayal, love and survival set on the harsh, frozen frontier of Alaska (Kirkus Reviews).
 
After surviving the perils of World War II, pilots and best friends Jack Slade and Sam Healey started a bush pilot company in the Alaskan wilderness. But their lives are changed forever when a wild animal onboard their C-47 Dakota beaks out of its cage and forces them to land on a glacier. Because at the base of that glacier is a massive oil deposit just waiting to be exploited.
 
The find is the key to both Jack and Sam’s separate dreams. For Jack, it means being able to finally settle down, raise a family, and live a simple life as a hunting and fishing guide in the land he loves. For Sam, it means money, power, and all that comes with it—no matter who or what gets in his way.
 
As the years pass, Jack and Sam find their friendship slowly eroding as their opposite desires draw them into an inevitable conflict over the land and the oil beneath it. And there will be blood drawn on both sides . . .
 
This is a sweeping novel of discovery, destruction, betrayal and revenge by “a top-notch stylist” that is perfect for fans of James Michener and John Jakes (People).
