Description
The third book in THE FALCON CHRONICLES series from DEADLY 60 and LIVE AND DEADLY presenter Steve Backshall. Follow Saker and Sinter's quest to save the world's endangered animals in the frozen Arctic wilderness.
Saker and Sinter escape by the skin of their teeth when their plan to sabotage a billionaire businessman plundering 'black gold' (natural oil and gas) and hunting wolves in the remote Siberia goes disastrously wrong.
But they escape one kind of peril only to find themselves in an even more terrifying situation. Separated by blizzards and avalanches, they are lost in a breathtakingly beautiful but deadly frozen Arctic wilderness. Suffering from frostbite and hunger, listening to the wolves howl and the packs draw closer, it seems that this time they cannot possibly live to tell their tale.
Steve Backshall is the hugely popular and fearless presenter of the BBC kids' series DEADLY 60 and LIVE AND DEADLY as well as star of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing 2014.

Reviews / Votes
A thrilling and richly atmospheric story. * LOVEREADING4KIDS * Fact and fiction blend really well throughout the story but the reader is kept hooked in by the constant sense of danger and action ... A super read * School Librarian * 10/10 - "An action, danger and adventure book" says the cover and IT WAS. * WILLIAM LONGLANDS, AGED 10 * A really exciting adventure. Saker and Sinter make a great team and I can't wait to read more of their gripping escapades. * SAM HARPER, AGED 10 * I enjoyed it so much as the story, characters and location were very detailed. I really liked how the author told us how the animals hunted and survived in the wild without losing the story. * JEMIMA WILCOX, AGED 10 *More details
