Trooper Carlisle is living the dream. He always wanted to be a brown shirt, a Fish and Wildlife Trooper in Alaska. Now he is. Now he covers for another Trooper and takes a call that seems harmless at first, routine, something he has done before. Life has a funny way of throwing a test at you that you must pass or you will die. No good deed goes unpunished. SURVIVE is full of twists and turns. Trooper Carlisle will not quit though. He is engrained with that tenacity that he has to pull on. Sticking with it. Not giving up no matter how hard. He has to draw from deep within, that which he has always had, but never knew to what depth and degree he had it. Survive.
SURVIVE was conceived and the first draft written literally in hunting camp in Alaska. David completed the final extended draft, completed the covers and edited the novel. David knows a thing or two about surviving. He survived Alaska.
