More Information
A gripping outdoor adventure, Eskimo Money is based on actual undercover operations conducted in Alaska in efforts to discontinue the slaughter of walrus and the illegal trade in ivory. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Special Agent Reed Erickson is a new kind of hero, an outdoorsman designed to run long-term undercover operations to combat commercial exploitation of America's natural resources. Reed faces his most dangerous case, entering isolated villages, penetrating a closed ivory-trading community that doesn't take kindly to outsiders, especially members of the hated Fish and Wildlife Service. Reed's experiences span from scuba diving in the frigid Bering Sea with killer whales to partaking in the harvest of meat by a Native people struggling to hold onto their culture. And in the end, Reed discovers that the most unstable and unpredictable creature in the wilderness is actually himself. Eskimo Money is truly as vast as The Last Great Frontier itself.
