Disadvantages: As above

This is a really interesting novel from Francis as it doesn't seem to follow the tried and tested formula of his others books and is certainly none the worse for that.

Francis always tries to investigate an industry or talent/skill/hobby other than his own and in this book it is survival.

Our hero is a travel writer who an expert on how to survive in the wild. His travel company specialise in holidays of an extreme nature, and he tests them all out and writes the guides before they are sold.

He is obviously very useful to his hosts in this book as they are lost in a forest, stuck in the snow and escaping from murderers (not necessarily in that order).

Francis in on top form with this one - a thoroughly good read.
