About this listen
13-year-old Oskari is sent into the cold wilderness on an ancient test of manhood. He must survive armed only with a bow and arrow. But instead, he stumbles upon an escape pod from a burning airliner: Air Force One.
Terrorists have shot down the President of the United States. The boy hunter and the world's most powerful man are suddenly the hunted, in a race against a deadly enemy.
©2015 Dan Smith (P)2015 Recorded Books IncI've not seen the film, so I don't know how close the story matches. The reading takes a little getting into (at least, for a UK listener) but once I'd engaged with the narrator's voices, it was enjoyable.
I particularly liked how the setting and culture of Arctic Circle Finland was presented. I don't know how much of this is Smith's invention and how much is based on reality, but Oskari's world has a veneer of truth.
Tradition is tradiiton - an enjoyable romp
