Running Hot

Even though it's a scorching summer afternoon, Garth and his friends are hard at work, thinning trees to earn money for a trip to Fiji. They notice a small fire, but before they can put it out flames have completely engulfed a pine tree . . . and then another. And another. As panic rises, an eerie silence falls until there's a thunderous explosion and the entire clearing erupts in flames: the fire is crowning, and all they can do is run for their lives. Dodging burning embers, unable to hear each other over the fire's deafening roar, hoping to find a ditch, a trench, any protection at all, Garth wonders how can they all possibly survive? With powerful realism, David Hill evokes the sheer gut-wrenching terror of being caught up in an inferno as well as the resourcefulness bred by utter desperation.Hill, David is the author of 'Running Hot', published 2006 under ISBN 9781894965521 and ISBN 1894965523.
