Lost Frontier — John Foley

When young Baird thought about the upcoming summer, he saw a near-perfect season. His dream job, as a guide for climbers on Mt. Rainier, looked to an almost sure thing. But he didn't get the job, and worse, another guide got his girl. His consolation was a solo trek in the Alaska wilderness. The trip started well, but then he met a gang of juvenile delinquents led by a violent killer...now all that stands between Baird and certain death are his wits and his skills.
