Voyageurs

8vo. Pp. [x], 466, [4]. Cream wraps printed in black.

Author's sixth novel, inspired by a sabbatical at Central Michigan University and canoeing adventures on the Ottawa River. Adventure narrative set at the onset of the War of 1812, as brother searchers for sister, an English Quaker missionary who disappears in uncharted wilderness. Mark must work as a "voyageur" – traversing Canada's fur-trade route in his canoe in order to find her.

"The book brings the period to life with an astonishing amount of detail, which builds up a complete picture of those pioneering times, in a wonderfully gripping and emotionally involving narrative." –Tablet
