Critics Review
[Frank Wolf] weaves humour, drama, and local knowledge to transport readers around the globe in a quest to celebrate exploration and the wild.
– “Paddling Magazine”As you make your way through these pages, and into Wolf’s wild hinterland, you may feel justifiably glad it’s not you in the boat, but I guarantee there will also be moments when you’ll wish to hell you could have been there.
–John Valliant, author of the Golden Spruce and the Jaguar’s Children, “Vancouver Courier”Frank is a master at weaving together his love of the land, people, culture and the importance to protect it. That’s what really sets him apart from other extreme adventurers.
–John Valliant, author of the Golden Spruce and the Jaguar’s Children, “Explore Magazine”Wolf has survived countless worldwide explorations, and the magic of this book is reading about how he did it. Lines On A Map is written with self-aware humour, high-stakes survivalist drama and a frank awareness of our fragile, beautiful planet.
–Grant Lawrence “Vancouver Courier”Wolf is at his best when he’s exploring his personal definition of adventure, inspiring readers to cut loose, accept the challenge and live their most audacious dream.
–Heather Allen, Armchair Book Club “Canoe & Kayak”Wolf’s new book collects the best stories from a full 24 of his mainly Canadian expeditions over the past two decades, and the result is a pretty gripping montage of his quests, body-breaking travails and the humour that gets him through.
