The Monument J. Allen Mcgarry

"The Monument" is a novel of survival and unsought adventure. A twentieth-century man wakes in primitive, unknown surroundings - naked, horribly sunburned and desperately thirsting. He soon recognizes he is captive in a primitive world -subject to the harsh, unforgiving kill-or-be-killed terms of basic survival. He must learn to hunt, fashion weapons, kill prey, out-think and defend against formidable predators, eat all that appears edible, and somehow avoid the disabling exhaustion of sleep deprivation. "The Monument" celebrates the ingenuity of a practical, scientifically driven, competitive thinking man determined to persevere against staggering odds.
