He was out of control from the moment he hit the ground running. Beginning life as the Dennis-the-Menace kid growing up in Santa Clara, California, to Alaska Master Guide License #110, Jerry Jakes has lived his life one adventure after another, and it’s all recorded now for posterity in No Sequel to Life: From the Heart of a Bush Pilot. So, the story goes from a rock-climbing kid who ascended Yosemite’s Lost Arrow Spire on his sixteenth birthday (exiting the summit via ropes stretched across the chasm between spire and cliff), to more than one death defying whitewater trip, multiple bear attacks, and a few airplane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness. Jerry’s mantra is, 'It’s not that you only live once, it’s that you only die once. So why not live your life to the fullest you’re able.' These pages provide his unique flight path for accomplishing just that-experiencing life to the maximum. This is the tale of a true adventurer, living on the edge at every bend in the whitewater river and every flight into Alaska’s wild and unpredictable skies. His brothers, John and Jim, say jokingly that Jerry’s funeral could only be closed casket, implying there wouldn’t be much left to look at after his final disastrous adventure. What he recounts in his book is sometimes humorous, often gut wrenching, always compelling, and yet all amazingly true.
