“…a good and exciting story.”
-The Edmonton Journal

“…an invigorating blend of adventure, drama and history, Racing the White Silence moves as quickly as the race it details. Killick has captured the The Yukon Quest and its frontier spirit in this swiftly paced, crisply reported book.”
-The Calgary Herald

“The Quest makes for a fascinating story, filled with severe beauty, hardship and victory.”
-Uptown magazine

“Adam Killick's Racing the White Silence is a tremendous romp of an adventure book. Meticulously researched and finely crafted, it is a book for the dreamer in us all, a charming and compelling reminder that life is not to be edured, but experienced. In this case, to the absolute limit.”
-Roy MacGregor

“Killick tells the story of the 2001 race in light and entertaining prose… Racing the White Silence is as well-paced as a good sled race and, as the tension mounts, Killick draws the reader happily and inevitably toward the finish line.”
-Quill and Quire

“This well-written and carefully researched book is an adventure story, as well as a bit of a thriller when the teams converge on the finish line and the real battle is joined.”
-The Star-Phoenix

“A book that will appeal to those with a specific interest in dog-sledding, or a more general interest in the ethos of the Canadian North.”
-Winnipeg Free Press

“This is a completely engrossing account of this gruelling race. Killick puts the reader right onto the sled runners beside the rugged mushers, and behind their magnificent, tireless dogs. He makes us feel, with sustained intensity, the exhasution and hazards of the long, remote course, the ancient bonds of love and dependence between humans and dogs, and the subtle seductions of the North. But Killick goes beyond the race itself as he artfully weaves into the story the technicalities of running dog teams, the glamourous, often strange history of this prickly frontier, and the tough, eccentric characters of the mushers themselves. This is the definitive book of the Yukon Quest and an estimable addition to the literature of adventure.”
-Derek Lundy, author of Godforsaken Sea

“Five big 'woofs' for Adam Killick and his book Racing the White Silence: On the Trail of the Yukon Quest. Killick's description of the person and economic challenges facing the mushers is equally captivating. Much of the book's appeal stems from the unique perspective that Killick offers the reader.”
