The Danger Trail

An engineer from Chicago arrives in the frozen wilds of northern Canada to build a railroad through territory that doesn't want him there. Jack Howland has his surveyor's tools, his ambition, and absolutely no idea what's waiting for him in the deep woods. When he crosses paths with Meleese, a woman as dangerous as the landscape itself, his practical mind gets turned inside out. Someone wants him dead. Someone is hunting him through the snow. And the only thing standing between him and the void is a mystery woman whose loyalties he can't read. This is early 20th-century adventure fiction at its pulse-pounding core. Curwood knew these lands intimately, and he populates them with genuine peril: Indigenous vengeance, wilderness that wants to kill you, and the constant threat of never coming home. The romance crackles with the tension of two people who can't trust each other even as they can't stay apart. It's a adventure story, a love story, and a survival story wrapped in one. For readers who want their fiction with teeth and their wilderness untamed.
