Here is the kind of authentically detailed epic novel that has become Louis L'Amour's hallmark. It is the compelling story of U.S. Air Force Major Joe Mack, a man born out of time. When his experimental aircraft is forced down in Russia and he escapes a Soviet prison camp, he must call upon the ancient skills of his Indian forebears to survive the vast Siberian wilderness. Only one route lies open to Mack: the path of his ancestors, overland to the Bering Strait and across the sea to America. But in pursuit is a legendary tracker, the Yakut native Alekhin, who knows every square foot of the icy frontier—and who knows that to trap his quarry he must think like a Sioux.

Last of the Breed
Two parts Rambo, one part Firefox - all Louis L'Amour.
First published in 1986, this is one of L'Amour's later books (he died in 1988) and tells the story of Major Joe Mack, who was shot down over the Soviet Union and was held briefly and interrogated but then escaped into the Siberian wilderness and kept going!
Simply told, with few frills but from a talented storytelling, veteran writer, this was fun to read.
L'Amour spins a very empathetic story about a US Air Force pilot shot down over Siberia, but who is a Sioux and was raised to his heritage and learns to survive and even thrive while the Soviets try to catch his trail. L'Amour sets up a book length showdown between Mack and his Soviet counterpart Yakut native Alekhin who also lives as their ancestors did.
Like most of L'Amour's books, this is also a vehicle for him to explore themes of naturalism, fortitude, and personal courage. Readers will also notice in L'Amour's depiction of Mack a ubiquitous and thematic respect for the Native American.
