The Falcon Chronicles: Wilds of the Wolf Summary

The Falcon Chronicles: Wilds of the Wolf: Book 3 by Steve Backshall

Gripping adventure fiction from Deadly TV presenter Steve Backshall, perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Charlie Higson. This is the third adventure in the Falcon Chronicles, filled with intrigue, adventure, exotic wildlife and dramatic locations.

Saker and Sinter escape by the skin of their teeth when their plan to sabotage a billionaire businessman plundering 'black gold' (natural oil and gas) and hunting wolves in the remote Yamal peninsula in North West Siberia goes disastrously wrong. But they escape one kind of peril only to find themselves in an even more terrifying situation. Separated by blizzards and avalanches, lost in a breathtakingly beautiful but deadly frozen Arctic wilderness, suffering from frostbite and hunger, listening to the wolves howl and the packs draw closer, it seems that this time they cannot possibly live to tell their tale...

The Falcon Chronicles: Wilds of the Wolf Reviews

A thrilling and richly atmospheric story. * LOVEREADING4KIDS *
Fact and fiction blend really well throughout the story but the reader is kept hooked in by the constant sense of danger and action ... A super read * School Librarian *
10/10 - "An action, danger and adventure book" says the cover and IT WAS. * WILLIAM LONGLANDS, AGED 10 *
A really exciting adventure. Saker and Sinter make a great team and I can't wait to read more of their gripping escapades. * SAM HARPER, AGED 10 *
I enjoyed it so much as the story, characters and location were very detailed. I really liked how the author told us how the animals hunted and survived in the wild without losing the story. * JEMIMA WILCOX, AGED 10 *
Zoologist, presenter, adventurer and now novelist, Steve Backshall is quite a talent... Backshall fills the novel with information about the natural world and the ways humans are conspiring to damage it - unless Sinter and Saker can stop them. But with a packed narrative and pacey language, this series will be welcomed by his growing audience. Indeed though, I received two review copies, I have only one left - my nine year old son won't give the other back. -- Tom Jackson * BBC WILDLIFE *
Steve Backshall's first foray into fiction tells the story of Saker and Sinter. On the run, they find themselves turned into an unlikely pair of eco warriors. Fast paced with a serious message. * ANGELS AND URCHINS *
Exciting to read and vividly brought to life in the dramatic backgrounds of India and China, this is also an important story about protecting wild life. -- Julia Eccleshare * LOVEREADING4KIDS *
An action-packed story which keeps the reader hooked all the way through; a very important message too, about the protection of our fragile planet and its creatures. * PARENTS IN TOUCH *
This story - which offers a Jason Bourne era update on the Willard Price animal adventure yarns of yesteryear - fairly romps along, with sparky dialogue, evocative description and lashings of suspense... 'When's the next one out?' asked my 11 year old daughter - a far sterner critic. * Mike Unwin, BBC WILDLIFE *
