Novel about the last Loch Maree salmon. "The last of the wild Atlantic salmon have returned. Now there are only three left to map out the destiny of the species. And there is only one man who can tell their story. He has seen their decline mirrored in the events of his own lifetime. The Last Salmon tells of voyage and endurance in the face of fantastic odds. It tells of creation beneath the mountains of Slioch, Beinn Eighe and the dark Sgurr Dubh, against a background of the most beautiful land remaining in Europe. It explores the far reaches of the Atlantic and Scottish freshwater systems through a man's eyes and the salmon's senses. The man is John Howard, born and raised in the magical Weald of Kent, separated from the salmon by hundreds of miles and millions of years of evolution but drawn ever closer to its fate until the and the fish are united in a shared quest for survival. The Last Salmon is a novel about the destruction of landscape and species, and the persistence of hope."
