Two friends
Wynn and Jack have been best friends since their first day of college, brought together by their shared love the great outdoors.

The adventure of a lifetime
When they decide to canoe down the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they anticipate the ultimate wilderness experience: no phones, no fellow travellers, no way of going back.

A wild ride
But as a wildfire starts to make its way towards them, their trip becomes a desperate race for survival. And when a man suddenly appears, claiming his wife has vanished, the fight against the raging flames becomes a much deadlier game of cat and mouse.

Industry Reviews

Both beautifully written, a crisp, ice-cold immersion in the glory of the wilderness, and unbearably tense. - Observer

Utter joy... A suspenseful tale told with glorious drama and lyrical flair... The River is a fiction addition to the New Landscape writing of Robert Macfarlane and Rebecca Solnit, prose so vivid and engaging that a city-dwelling reviewer can feel the clammy cold of a fog over a river or the heat of subterranean tree roots burning underfoot in the aftermath of a fire. - Denise Mina, New York Times

Where Heller really scores is the extraordinarily high quality of his writing about the natural world, which is lyrical and action-packed by turns. - Guardian
