Og - Son of Fire

Five hundred thousand years ago, the earth trembled. A mountain of fire awoke, and in the chaos of ash and screaming stone, a boy was torn from his people. Og, twelve winters old, stands alone against a world that wants to kill him. He must learn to hunt with weapons no more sophisticated than stone and bone, to outrun the beasts that prowled ancient forests, to brave the cold and the dark and the loneliness. But somewhere beyond the horizon, his family waits. If they still live. If he can find them. This is survival at its most elemental: fire against ice, courage against fear, one small human heartbeat against the crushing indifference of prehistoric Earth. Irving Crump's 1927 adventure pulses with raw, primal energy, a story that understands children crave not just entertainment but confrontation with genuine danger. Og is no magical hero; he is a boy who must become a man through nothing but wit and will. The journey home is treacherous, and not everyone makes it.
