Description for The Twenty-ninth Day: Surviving a Grizzly Attack in the Canadian Tundra
Review ''I will never forget the first time I met Alex and his impressive telling of the bear attack. I was transfixed. I thought if he is that adept and can think so quickly in the face of such extreme danger he would be a great person to work with. I was right. And now with his whole story down in book form, I see his writing is even better than his storytelling! I was transfixed again.'' -- Jim Brandenburg, award-winning nature photographer, filmmaker, and bestselling author ''To put it simply, we were completely swept up in this story of wilderness adventure and survival. Alex Messenger has a knack for immersing the reader in an unforgettable journey in the Canadian tundra. Through his skillful descriptions of the place and interactions of the group, you will experience the stark beauty of the landscape as well as the adrenaline rush of paddling whitewater as six young men make their way through one of the most remote places on the planet. You will also be right there with him, heart pounding, the moment he comes face-to-face with a barren-ground grizzly. We really enjoyed reading it and realize how much courage it must have taken to write this and be willing to share such a traumatic story with the world. Great job!'' -- Amy and Dave Freeman, authors, educators, and 2014 National Geographic Adventurers of the Year ''Over and over, Alex Messenger and his young comrades commit and recommit themselves to the perils of canoeing through the raw, bare landscape of Canada s far north. And when the worst happens, all of them Messenger included, despite his wounds rise to the daunting challenge with wit and skill. The result is one of the most harrowing first-person accounts of wilderness survival I ve ever come across. It s also a tribute to youth, good training, inexplicable luck and when the chips are really down sheer human courage.'' -- Catherine Watson, award-winning writer and writing coach ''This riveting true story of thrashing whitewater, mad bears, big fish, and graphic wilderness triage kept me turning pages well into the night.'' -- Dean King, New York Times bestselling author of Skeletons on the Zahara ''The Twenty-Ninth Day is a riveting read. Alex Messenger paints the realities of a multiday backcountry canoe trip, as well as the wild Canadian taiga and tundra, in equally vivid detail. Reminiscent of the Beckey brothers adventures into similar country at a similar age, this book calls us to reconsider what we believe possible of ourselves and our youth. The harrowing encounter with a grizzly bear and subsequent survival decisions take us straight to the heart of both life and adventure.'' --Heather Anish Anderson, author of Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home'This riveting true story of thrashing whitewater, mad bears, big fish, and graphic wilderness triage kept me turning pages well into the night.' --'Dean King, New York Times bestselling author of Skeletons on the Zahara''The Twenty-Ninth Day is a riveting read.
