description: Tale of wilderness survival and pursuit told in lean propulsive prose but with a twist ... Somer raises disquieting questions about our relationship with nature and the debt we owe to the beings with whom we share our planet -- even or perhaps especially when there is no longer any chance of restitution. -- The Guardian In a lonely valley deep in the mountains a ranger watches over the last surviving grizzly bear. With the natural world exhausted and in tatters Ben has dedicated himself to protecting this single fragment of the wild. One night he hears voices in the valley -- poachers come to hunt his bear. A heart-pounding chase begins crossing forests and mountainsides passing centuries of human ruins. Sometimes hunter sometimes prey -- Ben must choose the bear's fate and his own. Is he willing to lay down his life for a dying breed? Is he willing to kill for it?
