Title: The Wildfire Season

Author: Andrew Pyper

Release date: January 1st, 2005

My new favourite book, from my favourite author!

The Wildfire Season became my new favourite book for me personally, because of the connections I found I had to this novel.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere, in a place not that different from Ross River. I grew up hunting, and my cousin Jason was a big game guide in the Yukon and Alaska.

We spent a number of summer’s on evacuation notice due to forest fires, and when my Dad’s logging job would be shut down due to fire hazard, he would work as a forest fire fighter.

I have always been drawn to books set in barren landscapes and characters that continue to fight against the odds, no matter how overwhelming they appear.

This book had everything and more for me.

If you love Mr. Pyper’s work, and haven’t checked this out yet, I highly recommend it!
