"Carl Schenck, an unscrupulous industrialist and aspiring big-game hunter who's come to bear a striking resemblance to his schoolboy hero Teddy Roosevelt, has amassed a fortune fabulous enough to fashion a world that caters to his whims, whereas Will Boden, a seaman down on his luck, has lost his boat, his wife, his job, his reputation. Second chances don't come easily to a man like Boden, a captain who abandoned his own ship, until Schenck's blind resolve to launch an Arctic safari affords him an opportunity to do what no seasoned seaman would."--BOOK JACKET.
