About the Book

This is a novel about medical care in the most remote parts of Alaska, out where those "deadliest catch" fishermen work, and sometimes die. Follow Dexter Farquhar, a physician assistant as he recounts day to day clinic duties, adventures, and challenges he faces providing care 900 miles from the nearest hospital. You will be there with him. The life and death events recount medevacs, Coast Guard rescues, Bush Plane flying, Eskimos, and is told with some humor, and a feeling of looking over his shoulder. The stories are fiction while the drama is real, experienced by the author, a physician assistant, who has worked in Alaska for 15 years, commuting from "the lower 48."
About the Author: Robert Wallace Finlay known to his friends as "Bob" is named after Scotland's two greatest heroes Robert the Bruce, and William Wallace. Bob is a practicing physician assistant who graduated from the Penn State PA program in 1984, and he has practiced continually since then. He has spent the 21st century working in Alaska, in places so remote, and so beautiful, that he chose the topic of remote medicine for his first novel in the series called "The Chain". Bob is an avid writer, pilot, sailor, and outdoorsman; once held a Maine Forester's license, has been a professional firefighter, surveyor, landscaper, and lived in many Maine locations. He returns to Maine after 15 years in Colorado. Bob has traveled to all 50 states of the USA, and much of Europe. He has traveled to Africa many times, and for a short time ran a safari business, which was called OTG Adventures, for "Off the Grid," taking clients to Kenya and Tanzania. At that time he was living in a solar powered home high in Colorado's mountains. As a youth he was in the US Peace Corps in Kenya in 1969. Bob speaks Kiswahili, as well as French, and some Spanish. Future writing projects are queued up on his computer. He lives with his faithful companion Yoda, a mixed breed rescue dog. In a cozy log cabin in Maine. By the way, Yoda rescued him.
