  <default_description>Award-winning and best-selling author James Dickey returns with the heart-stopping story of Muldrow, an American tail gunner who parachutes&#160;&#160;from his burning airplane into Tokyo in the final months of World War II. Fleeing the chaotic,&#160;&#160;ruined city, he instinctively travels north toward a frozen, desolate sanctuary he is certain will assure this survival--and freedom. Making his way through enemy terrain, on the lookout for both danger and&#160;&#160;opportunity, Muldrow's journey becomes the flight of a pure predator. Moving through the darkness,&#160;&#160;bombarded by haunting visions that consume his&#160;&#160;imagination, every step in his violent odyssey brings&#160;&#160;him closer to a harrowing climax that is pure&#160;&#160;James Dickey.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Dickey's last novel is a haunting and original examination of man's true nature.  Violent, shocking, and beautifully handled.  Dickey's hallucinatory prose burns itself into your memory banks.  A real fever dream of a novel.  Vastly underappreciated and highly recommended.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A war story like no other. Juxtaposes war and murder. A chilling depiction of predation without any judgmental &quot;commentary&quot; on this most unusual character who is placed by war in a most unusual situation behind enemy lines. Very difficult to put down.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Weird story by the weird author of Deliverance.  Tag along for a killing spree through WWII Japan while you wonder where in the hell the story is going.  Great writing, but very odd stuff.]]></body>
