Og—Son of Fire

In the shadow of a smoking volcano, a boy named Og stands alone. The eruption that destroyed his people has left him the last of his kind, wandering a world filled with predators and peril. Hunger drives him forward, but destiny has other plans. When Og stumbles upon the secret of fire, he transforms not only his own survival but the course of human history itself. This is the story of how one desperate boy, armed with nothing but instinct and courage, unlocked the power that would warm, protect, and destroy. Irving Crump's 1922 adventure pulses with raw primordial energy, a tale of invention and triumph that has lost none of its visceral power over a century later. For readers who grew up on survival stories and dreamed of living among the first people.
