When Titans Drive
Darkness. Dynamite. A logging empire under siege. When Titans Drive opens in the dead of night with an explosion that tears through Bob Bainbridge's camp, and from that visceral first moment, the novel never slows. Bainbridge is a young man betting everything on the spring log drive, the annual spectacle where timber giants rumble downrivers in desperate, dangerous races against time and nature. But rival interests want his operation destroyed, and sabotage gives way to violence in the rugged, unforgiving logging country. The action crackles from the outset: men leaping from bunks into darkness, candlelight flickering over grim faces, foremen with tanned, impassive countenances betraying nothing. This is adventure fiction at its elemental core: a young man against the world, tested by greed, treachery, and the raw wilderness of early 20th-century American industry. For readers who want their stories like their lumber: heavy, fast, and likely to leave splinters.
