The character of Megan and the scrapes she gets into with the nasty Russian trappers gave this book a fun "Perils of Pauline" feel to it, when it wasn't being bogged down by Schurfranz's annoying tendency to have her "heroes" be either grunting cavemen or sunny Pollyannas. The fisher Ivan seems to be a mix of the two, which is some variety from her usual fare, but still not that endearing. Also, this book was a bit slight on the history & atmosphere, which is Schurfranz' strength. So overall a bit below the average. Still a fast read, though.
