The Monument

The Monument is a novel of survival and unsought adventure. A twentieth-century man wakes in primitive, unknown surroundings-naked, horribly sunburned, and desperately thirsting. He soon recognizes he is captive in a primitive world-subject to the harsh, unforgiving, kill-or-be-killed terms of basic survival. He must learn to hunt, fashion weapons, kill prey, out-think, and defend against formidable predators, eat all that appears edible, and somehow avoid the disabling exhaustion of sleep deprivation. The Monument celebrates the ingenuity of a practical, scientifically driven, competitive, thinking man determined to persevere against staggering odds.
