"We want you to do it again." Two years earlier Brian had been stranded alone in the wilderness for 54 days with nothing but a small hatchet. Now the government wants him to do it again - to go back into the wilderness, to relive the anguish and peril so that astronauts and the military can learn the survival techniques that saved Brian's life. Brian's companion is Derek holtzer, a government psychologist who will accompany the seasoned boy on his second trip into the dangerous wilderness. But during a freak storm Derek is grievously injured, and Brian is again left on his own - with no supplies, the radio transmitter dead, and only his wits between him and death.
