The Flaming Forest

Beschreibung

A Mountie on a dangerous mission in the rugged Canadian wilderness. A forbidden romance and a deadly rivalry ignite in the forest's shadow. Will love and loyalty survive when flames threaten to consume everything? In The Flaming Forest, James Oliver Curwood weaves a tale of love, danger, and loyalty in the northern wilderness. Sergeant David Carrigan of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police embarks on a mission that tests his courage and honor, leading him into a world of treacherous enemies, breathtaking landscapes, and forbidden love. With Curwood's vivid descriptions and gripping plot twists, this novel captures the spirit of adventure and the wild beauty of the Canadian frontier. James Oliver "Jim" Curwood (1878-1927) was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books ranked among Publisher's Weekly top-ten best sellers in the United States in the early 1920s. The Flaming Forest follows the adventures of a Canadian Mountie "on the trail of Black Roger, the merciless murderer who menaced the trapping country." Instead of finding his man, he is "outwitted and captured by a mere girl" and finds himself a prisoner of St. Pierre "last of the great, all-powerful traders who bow to no authority."

Autor

James Oliver "Jim" Curwood (1878 - 1927) was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books were often based on adventures set in the Hudson's Bay area, the Yukon or Alaska and ranked among the top-ten best sellers in the United States in the early and mid 1920s, according to Publishers Weekly. At least one hundred and eighty motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories; one was produced in three versions from 1919 to 1953. At the time of his death, Curwood was the highest paid (per word) author in the world. He built Curwood Castle as a place to greet guests and as a writing studio in his hometown of Owosso, Michigan. The castle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is now operated by the city as a museum. The city commemorates him with an annual Curwood Festival.
