Book Description: The world's population has doubled. Wilderness exists only in old movies. Every region on Earth has been explored, organized, and tamed, while modern gear makes climbing Everest a walk in the park.

Yet Daniel, partly to inject some deeper meaning into his life, partly to find a woman who doesn't want to be found, soon finds himself taking a perilous trek across the forbidden continent of Australia.

GETTING BACK is a novel of survival and a search for meaning in a world where both have become extinct-a thriller that asks us whether getting back is the object of the game, or the punishment for losing...
