The Unknown (Unabridged‪)‬

Fall, 1880

A man is missing, vanished in the uncharted wilds of the new northern territories. And not just any man, but a scholar - a scholar whose influence extends all the way to Washington.

Jack Percy is asked to do the unthinkable: enter the hostile wilderness near the Canadian border, without the aid of military support, locate and extract the missing man. His reluctance is strong and sensible - the man has surely already met his fate. But something tugs at him, something internal, something more than the federal reward.

Winter stands at the threshold, the very season of death. If the missing person is to be retrieved, it must be done now and with the greatest of haste. Jack leads a small search party into the forest with a singular objective. What they find, however, is a past that refuses to die, and perhaps the most efficient and lethal Indian tribe they've ever seen or heard of. Or worse.
