Beasts, Men and Gods

Beasts, Men and Gods is an account of an epic journey, filled with perils and narrow escapes, in the mold of The Lord of the Rings.

The difference is: it’s all true. 

Ferdinand Ossendowski was a Pole who found himself in Siberia and on the losing side during the Bolshevik Revolution. To escape being rounded up and shot, he set out with a friend to reach the Pacific, there to take ship back to Europe. During his journey he fell in with dozens of other military men who shared the same objective… but nearly every one of them perished on the way.
