Sinopse

In "The Land of Frozen Suns," Bertrand William Sinclair crafts a vivid tale set against the stark, majestic landscape of the Canadian North, a locale that serves as a powerful backdrop for exploration and introspection. Written in a lyrical yet unembellished prose style, Sinclair weaves themes of survival, the brutality of nature, and the intricacies of human relationships amid the harsh environment. The novel reflects the literary context of the early 20th century, where American and Canadian literature was beginning to explore themes of wilderness and identity, with Sinclair's work standing out for its authentic depiction of the Northern experience. Bertrand William Sinclair, a Canadian author and journalist, drew upon his own extensive experiences in the North, including his time spent in the Yukon and his deep understanding of the Indigenous cultures of the region. His firsthand encounters with the challenges of rugged life informed his narrative, imbuing it with authenticity and depth. Sinclair's broader literary contributions also reflect his passion for social issues and communal harmony, showcasing a writer who was as invested in the human condition as he was in the natural world. This compelling narrative is highly recommended for readers who seek not only adventure but also a profound meditation on resilience and the spirit of the North. Sinclair's keen observations and poetic insights will resonate with those interested in the complexities of nature and the enduring bond between humans and their environment.

As Jack strives to piece together the mystery under the threatening growl of his empty stomach, his reliance on experience and muscle memory is tested against the silent whispers of danger lurking at every corner. 
    Encountering a bizarre mix of fake lawmen and shadowy figures, Jack must discern ally from enemy as deception layers upon deception. A hidden bullet and a disturbing realization that his backup might not be what it seems force Jack to question the very ground he stands on. 
    Facing echoes of laughter that conceal deadly intentions and piercing eyes that hold secrets, Jack knows one misstep could silence him forever. As he immerses himself in an early morning dash for truth and survival, breakfast plans at Nick’s Cafe morph into a nerve-straining game of cat and mouse that could lead Jack deeper into the heart of darkness.

    You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin - This was the audience participation show that couldn’t be topped!  
    When the Broadcasters Association of Democracy Inc. telecast its first nationwide surgi-drama in color, Pat Price, who was watching the screen across the mahogany in the Wish-A-Wile Bar on Wilshire near Vermont, got a brainstorm that came close to revolutionizing the scientific outlook, and certainly did make show business history. 
    Pat Price was one of the sharpest promoters in the Hollywood public relations game. He was in the Wilshire Boulevard bar mooning around for inspiration for a kinescoped show he was building up into a package, when he saw the sheeted anesthetized body as the telelens saw it. 
    Then he saw it as his miasmatic Muse saw it.
