WINTER TIME FAVORITE

WINTER WOLF HAS BEEN ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS FOR YEARS. I USUALLY RE-READ IT EVERY YEAR WHEN THE SNOW STARTS BLOWING AND THE TEMPERATURE DROPS. IT HAS SURVIVAL STORIES, INTERNATIONAL COLD WAR INTRIGUE, ROMANCE, INTERESTING PEOPLES SUCH AS THE LAPPS AS WELL AS VERY WELL DEVELOPED CHARACTERS. IT HAS A DARK SIDE TO IT AND THE SUSPENSE BUILDS TO A FEVER PITCH THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PUT DOWN. THE OUTDOOR EMPHASIS, WITH TUNDRA CROSSINGS, NAUTICAL STRUGGLES AND SIMPLY TRYING TO SURVIVE IN THE BRUTAL COLD AND WIND OF THE ARCTIC NORTH WHILE FIGHTING AGAINST TRAITORS AND KILLERS KEEPS ME TURNING THE PAGES AND RE-READING THIS BOOK ANNUALLY. I LOVE IT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
