From moose attacks to the midnight sun--an amusing, Bill Bryson-like account of one man's first year in Alaska. "In New York City, a Cheechako (chee Cha-ko) would be the kid who just fell off the turnip truck. No street smarts. A pink windbreaker. A subway map sticking from his back pocket...In Alaska, a Cheechako is even easier to spot. He's the guy with his tongue stuck to a metal pole. A tenderfoot. A greenhorn." Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun is the story of Lt. Sean Michael Flynn as he tries to survive his first year in Alaska. With romantic notions of Jack London and bush piloting, Lt. Flynn requests a transfer to Eileson Air Force outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. He is a bit unnerved at how easy the transfer goes through. From a rugby game on a frozen river to living across from Santa's Village to a baseball game under the midnight sun to soaring over the wilderness in an F-16, this is an hilarious trial-by-many-errors account of what it takes to become a true Alaskan.
