Alone and stranded in the Arctic wasteland, would you risk your life to save a stranger or try to get home?
Paul is a father-to-be; traumatised by his past, he's terrified of becoming a father after his own beat him until he was unilaterally deaf. While working as a freelance cameraman in the Arctic, he's caught in a blizzard, separated from his crew, and falls into a chasm. Alone, and waiting for death to come, personal demons plague his mind.
When a young native girl falls into the chasm with him, Paul must learn how to accept responsibility and what it takes to give your life for a child.
FERAL SNOW, while a tense and action-packed story, is an intimate journey between two polar opposites and how love can be forged in the unlikeliest of circumstances. It has been compared to The Revenant, 127 Hours, and The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

Feral Snow is an incredible book. I loved it so much. I've only read a couple of books that deal with themes or survival so this was new territory for me. I enjoyed the fact the book is told from Paul's POV so are inside his head all the time, getting his thoughts as he struggles to save himself at first and then Nanny and you see everything that's is happening through his eyes. This brought me very close to the character and events in the book. In many ways, this is a sparse book; Paul and Nanny are alone for most of it, with Paul's crew only featuring once or twice. This is a very intense read as Paul and Nanny's struggle for survival in the present is interwoven from flashes from Paul's past that led to him being so emotionally scarred and afraid of being a father. I enjoyed both storylines equally. I didn't want to stop reading Feral Snow. This is a terrific book.
