Wyatt Barlow wakes up in present day Alaskan wilderness initially with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. He sees two men hunting nearby and one of them looks just like him. After following the man home and seeing him with his wife and son, memories of his own wife and son come back to him. Then he remembers who he is and believes that he has been frozen in time, and that Travis, his doppelganger, is his great-great grandson. Will blood be thicker than water (or shall I say ice)? Wyatt still believes that gold exists in the Alaskan landscape and as he gets closer to Callie, Travis’s wife, his interest turns to obsession.
Two men, two different times…The premise of this book is interesting and involves some need to suspend disbelief. A man frozen in time to awake and go about adjusting to a new time, new way of talking, of living, technological advances, etc. The descriptions of the Alaskan landscape and cold are vivid and sharp. The story ebbed and flowed for me, parts slow, other parts that moved faster. This is another book where I can say that I liked but did not love it.
Interesting premise.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
