"I'm a big fan of Jon Turk and his stories of adventure and the accompanying inner reflections. It is interesting to see him change as a man from the beginning of the book to the end, particularly when measured against the man he is today."
"If you enjoy true adventure stories then you would probably enjoy reading of Jon Turks travels in a kayak around the Cape Horn and along the northern coast of North America. He took his wife on a trip from the continent over to Baffin Island and then Greenland. The two of them were a thousand miles from anywhere and definitly on their own form months at a time. While his adventures lack falling off the cliff moments they are staggering in their temerity."
