Alone Against the North follows a lone explorer as he sets out to paddle an unrecorded river through the Hudson Bay Lowlands. The narrative combines travel writing and fieldcraft to map a landscape that appears blank on most maps.

Along the way he meets unexpected hazards—hidden falls, difficult portages and long stretches of solitude—that test his skills and resolve. The prose balances vivid natural description with clear-eyed accounts of navigation and survival.

Readers interested in exploration, northern Canada, or immersive outdoor stories will find a thoughtful, atmospheric account of what it means to explore places few have seen.
