During the winter of 1936, twenty-one-year-old Danny
Corcoran of the Newfoundland Ranger Force set out on a routine wildlife patrol
from Great Harbour Deep. However, he could never have imagined the nightmare
that awaited him. Danny was inexperienced in travelling on the open country of
the Great Northern Peninsula, and what was intended to be a two-day trek to find
and waylay poachers in the area turned out to be a gruelling two-week journey
that would push Ranger Corcoran to the very limits of his endurance. Frightened,
crippled, and alone, young Danny Corcoran faced his biggest challenge yet . . .
and prayed that a search party would find him in time.
