FIRE
By George R. Stewart
New York: Random House, (1948). First edition, first printing (stated). Red cloth, map endpapers; wraparound illustrated dust jacket. A fine copy; in a very good plus, illustrated dust jacket with modest shelf wear and light chipping to the spine ends. The front flap has been price-clipped. Classic novel of men fighting one of nature's greatest terrors--a forest fire burning out of control. "The life and death of a forest fire named Spitcat, and the men and women who struggle to extinguish it. The canvas here is large, swift, and not without considerable narrative power. Scenes describing the fire in the Sierra Nevada are far better done than the characterizations. A companion piece to his novel Storm."--Baird and Greenwood, #2356. FREE SHIPPING to USA.
