Eskimo Money - Wilderness Badge Series

ESKIMO MONEY Wilderness Badge Series By Gunnard Landers

A gripping outdoor adventure, Eskimo Money is based on actual undercover operations conducted in Alaska in efforts to discontinue the slaughter of walrus and the illegal trade in ivory. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Special Agent Reed Erickson is a new kind of hero, and out-doorsman designed to run long-term undercover operations to combat commercial exploitation of America's natural resources.

In Eskimo Money, Reed faces his most dangerous case yet, entering isolated villages, penetrating a closed ivory-trading community that doesn't take kindly to outsiders of any kind, especially members of the hated Fish and Wildlife Service. In his quest, Reed's experiences span from a face to face charge of a grizzly to scuba diving in the frigid Bering Sea with killer whales, from seeing the senseless walrus slaughter by headhunters with automatic weapons to partaking in the harvest of meat by a Native people struggling to hold onto their culture. And in the end, Reed discovers that the most unstable and unpredictable creature in the wilderness is actually himself. Eskimo Money is truly as vast as The Last Great Frontier itself.

Soft cover, 206 pages, twenty chapters.
