"From Canada?s most accomplished adventurer and storyteller comes a gripping
journey into the vastness of Canada?s landscape and history.

"Looking out his porch window one spring morning, Adam Shoalts spotted a
majestic peregrine falcon flying across the neighbouring fields near Lake
Erie. Each spring, falcons migrate from southernmost Canada to remote arctic
mountains. Grabbing his backpack and canoe, Shoalts resolved to follow the
falcon?s route north on an astonishing 3,400-kilometre journey to the Arctic.

"Along the way, he faces a huge variety of challenges and obstacles, including
storms on the Great Lakes, finding campsites in the urban wilderness of
Toronto and Montreal, avoiding busy commercial freighter traffic, gale force
winds, massive hydroelectric dams, bushwhacking without trails, dealing with
hunger, multiple bear encounters, and navigating white-water rapids on icy
northern rivers far from any help.

"Where the Falcon Flies invites readers on an extraordinary armchair adventure
that spans five ecoregions and centuries of fascinating history, and is a
masterwork by one of Canada?s most successful and audacious authors.
