Trapped between two infinities, human life is a snapshot of close calls. At birth, in war, in the wilderness, on land, sea or air it matters not – disguised along the way, Chance marks the time remaining an individual.
Survival, the act of staying alive, is the theme of this collection of short stories selected across the life of a lucky and well-travelled risk-taking Maritime son. As story-teller, David Mossman draws heavily on personal experience as an exploration geologist to recount incidents on four continents.
A seventh-generation Canadian, David Mossman was born in Rose Bay, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. He is professor emeritus of geoscience at Mount Allison University, New Brunswick. He is also the author of Going Over: a Nova Scotia Soldier in World War I and Oceans of Rum: the Nova Scotia Banana Fleet in Rum-Runner Heaven.
