Produktinformationen zu „Slade's Glacier (ePub)“
Slade's Glacier is a tale of discovery and destruction, betrayal and revenge, set in the rugged "Great Land of Alaska. Jack Slade and Sam Healey, flying partners during World War II, establish a bush pilot business in Alaska after the war. When their C-47 Dakota is forced down on a glacier by a wolverine in the cargo deck that breaks out of its cage, they discover a valley that offers the realization each man's dreams. To Jack Slade, it's the ideal place to homestead, raise a family, and live simply as a professional hunting and fishing guide; to Healey, the pool of crude oil he locates under the glacial ice promises the wealth he always wanted.
In scenes that range from Alaska's coastal fishing ports to the high, fierce wastelands of the interior, we watch each man lay the plans for their individual goals-and ultimately come into fatal conflict. Along the way, they meet a wide, colorful variety of Alaskan types, including Charlie Blue, a Tlingit Indian, shaman, and seer; Norman Ormandy, the tough saloonkeeper of Gurry Bay; and Malec Mummad-Afi, a wealthy exiled Iranian oil king and sheep hunter.
Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction-novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Pressezitat
“This book transcends most of its kind because Jones is a top-notch stylist—brisk and confident.” —People“Alaskan melodrama with engaging humor and knockout description . . . Another larger-than-life action-melodrama—with rather more folksy likability than usual.” —Kirkus Reviews
