Deputies ran from house to house, shouting to the people. Y’all need to evacuate! One yelled to a child. Where’s your mom and dad? The child pointed. The deputy looked that direction and they ran off together, the child and the deputy, suddenly united by the adrenaline of escape. Down the road there were hurried fists on front doors. No polite pauses between knocks-these were desperate pounding crashes on top of each other. Exclamation marks punctuated every spoken word. Hearts lurched as people recognized the biting smell of smoke.
Stunned at the orders to evacuate, residents of Bastrop, Texas, left their homes full of irreplaceable memorabilia and fled to safety. They had little time to gather even the most essential possessions.
Inferno in the Lost Pines is filled with stories of people who had to make fast decisions when chased by a forest fire, and thoughtful decisions when moving into an unexpected future. Would they be able to find any shreds of grace and redemption in their smoldering circumstances?

Jumping Fire: A Smokejumper's Memoir of Fighting Wildfire
Rated 0 out of 5

by Murry A. Taylor (Author)
During one incendiary summer, Murry Taylor kept an extensive journal of his day-to-day activities as an Alaskan smokejumper. It wasn't his first season fighting wildfires, and he's far from being a rookie—he's been on the job since 1965. Through this narrative of one busy season, Taylor reflects on the years of training, the harrowing adrenaline-fueled jumps, his brushes with death, the fires he conquered, and the ones that got away. It's a world full of bravado, one with epic battles of man versus nature, resulting in stories of death-defying defeats, serious injury, and occasionally tragedy. We witness Taylor's story; learn of the training, preparation, technology, and latest equipment used in fighting wildfires; and get to know his fellow smokejumpers in the ready room, on the tundra, and in the vast forests of one of the last great wilderness areas in the world. Often thrilling and informative and always entertaining, Taylor's memoir is one of the first autobiographical accounts of a legendary career.

by John Shannon (Author)
Jack Liffey's former mistress reappears to plead for the P.I.'s help finding her missing niece. The hunt leads Liffey to Monterey Park, where he dives into an undercurrent of racial tension that puts the peace of the small suburb in jeopardy. Meanwhile, a fire burns in the hills above Los Angeles, offering a sinister reminder that few events in life are coincidental. But Liffey's sudden troubles with racist gangs, teenage revolutionaries, and South African nutjobs are dwarfed by the threat his old mistress poses to his relationships with his new girlfriend and his recently reconciled lesbian daughter. What's a hard-boiled dick to do? Exploding with wry wit, The Chinese Beverly Hills is tense and thought-provoking, with the quirkiness that Shannon's fans have come to expect.

Wall of Flame: The Heroic Battle to Save Southern California
Rated 0 out of 5
0 ReviewsHardcover – March 1, 2006
by Erich Krauss (Author), RCFD Deputy Chief Mike Bell (Foreword)
A dramatic look from the front lines at the most devastating fire siege in California history With over seven miles of urban/wildland interface unburned for thirty years and beautiful homes lacing in and out of its picturesque hilly terrain, Rancho Cucamonga was a powder keg--one that finally exploded in October 2003 with a ferocity no one could have expected. Now, Erich Krauss brings you to the ever-shifting front lines of the battle against the catastrophic inferno, the rugged terrain, and the ferocious winds, where municipal and wildland firefighters joined forces to save thousands of homes and lives. Wall of Flame recalls the unprecedented events surrounding the Grand Prix Fire, revealing the moments of apparent indecision, the lack of coordination, and even how local, state, and federal firefighters--each with missions that at times opposed one another--put their differences aside for the greater good in order to save Southern California. With each passing hour, the fire grew larger and their task more immense. Mistakes were made. Plans collapsed. Even the most seasoned firefighters felt the world close in. But they persevered. After all, it was their city, their homes, and their loved ones they were entrusted to protect. Their community was counting on them to save their homes and all the history they had wrapped up in them. This was a battle they could not afford to lose.
