I read this in about four hours on a trip to Hawaii. More of a young man's adventure book....part of a series written by Bear, I still found it very entertaining and readable. Bear is a very good writer and you can learn a few thning from his books as well.

My oldest son is a new boy scout and was surprised to see that the official spokesman for BSA, Bear Grylls, had written a series of adventure stories. Cool!
