"The adventures and misadventures of Arctic bush pilot Dominique Prinet in the Northwest Territories make for a bracing read. Writing with clarity, humour, and precision, Prinet, an economist and engineer, flies us into a world of endless snow and ice and dim grey winter days over sparsely settled tundra. Flying into bad weather, his single-engine plane icing up and heading down, Prinet wonders if he should tell the sports fishermen snoozing in the cabin amid boxes of fish and fishing gear they are about to crash. Maybe not. Or while rescuing his bride from their plane sinking through the ice, he meets an Indigenous trapper who drove his dogsled through the bush to find out why a plane had landed but not taken off."-- Provided by publisher
