- Summary
- "Two years after their historic descent of the Amazon, Colin Angus and two buddies were scrambling up the northeastern slopes of the 13,000-foot Mt. Otgon Tenger in Mongolia to begin their 5,500-kilometer journey down the Yenisey River, hoping to become the first group to run the longest unchallenged river in the world. With nothing but kayaks and a rubber raft, they journey through Outer Mongolia and the Siberian Outback to the Arctic, fighting against searing heat waves, flash floods, dehydration, and an encounter with the Russian Mafia. Then, when Colin gets separated from his partners after a freak capsize and has to survive alone for twelve days without supplies or clean water, things really get interesting."--BOOK JACKET.
