#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2024 NATIONAL OUTBOOK AWARD FOR JOURNEYS SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 SPEAKER'S BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR THE BANFF MOUNTAIN BOOK COMPETITION FOR ADVENTURE TRAVEL “For most of us, the expression “as the crow flies”—or, in this case, peregrine falcon—is usefully descriptive. Not so for adventurer-historian Shoalts. . . .” —The Globe and Mail “An exceptionally fine writer as well as adventurer, Shoalts knows how to keep you turning the pages, whisking you along, every paddle stroke of the way.” —National Outdoor Book Awards “Epic. . . . fighting gale-force winds and plunging into freezing water . . . this trip was like no other.” —The Hamilton Spectator “Adam Shoalts has famously explored the Arctic, created A History of Canada in Ten Maps, and now in Where the Falcon Flies, reveal[s] the interconnectedness between landscape and nature.” —Toronto Star “A tremendous trek. . . . Shoalts has perpetually melded history, geography, anthropology, and storytelling to bring Canadians into his canoe. . . . the charity and kindness of complete strangers Shoalts meets along the way becomes an enduring theme in the book. It is inspiring to read how, in these days of great division in our society, a single adventurer paddling down a river or tromping down a logging road can bring out the best in people.” —Winnipeg Free Press “Adam Shoalts has hit the mark again with his latest book. . . . my favourite portion of Shoalts' writing is the way he stitches moments of Canadian history into his book. A high school kid can skip every history class, but still gain more knowledge just by reading Where the Falcon Flies.” —Kevin Callan, Explore Magazine “Where the Falcon Flies takes readers along, vicariously, on this incredible journey–prepare to be wowed!” —Horizon Magazine “Epic. . . . the adventure of a lifetime.” —Global News
