About This Book

A young radiophone operator with unusually keen radio hearing and his companion pursue a resourceful saboteur across frozen trails, using wireless signals and careful trailcraft to close in. Their trek alternates scenes of Arctic survival—tent storms, thin rations, sled dogs, and wolf encounters—with technical improvisation to repair and use radiophone apparatus for calls and rescues. The search encounters mysterious attacks, a wild stampede, and discoveries tied to glittering valuables, while the parties rely on tracking signs, courage, and timely radio communication to face danger and resolve the threat.
