Jason's partner in his canoe is the girl he loves, Jamie Dunavant, freshly returned from the States, as she promised she would. The Great Race across Alaska will be a grueling test for the two of them as they face the hazards of the Yukon River, two very dangerous men Jason has reason to fear, and the terrors of the open sea.
