Summary
The Siberian Amur River; 4,400 kilometres from source to sea of fast waters, flash floods, roaring canyons and quicksand. Glacial currents and weather hot enough to melt sand pale in comparison, however, to the stormy political climate along this geographical frontier. Paul Grogan, a young journalist with a passion for his paddle, undertakes an epic journey from the river's source in Mongolia to its mouth on the coast of the Pacific, taking his canoe and his mate Rich for companionship.
