The Blizzard - Hardcover

by Vierling Matthew Vierling (Author)

The Blizzard is a spellbinding novel of legends, danger, suspense, and global intrigue set in the fascinating world of big-game trophy hunting. The heart of this story is a magical blizzard which reveals trophy animals that shouldn't exist in nature. But in The Blizzard, such magical things can and do exist.

In his youth, Mark Jaeger learns of the blizzard myth: a supernatural snowstorm which unpredictably occurs every few years, somewhere in the world, never in the same place twice, and somehow lures out the world's largest animals-trophies so huge they defy nature and imagination, so wily and cautious that these big-game animals never allow themselves to be seen by hunters ... except during the blizzard.

Mark Jaeger's quest for the blizzard secret takes him around the world, where he sees traces of the blizzard everywhere. Jaeger learns that the truth of the blizzard legend might be revealed in a lost manuscript, which has become the sacred quest of a small cadre of obsessed big-game trophy hunters.

The world which Matthew Vierling creates out of mythology and legend possesses more mystery lurking beneath the surface than our own world. Or does it? The Blizzard makes everything seem gloriously possible.
