Sinopse

In "Ungava Bob: A Winter's Tale," Dillon Wallace crafts a vivid narrative set against the harsh yet mesmerizing backdrop of the Canadian Arctic. This captivating tale follows the adventures of a young man as he encounters the fierce beauty of the wild and the challenges posed by extreme winter conditions. Wallace'Äôs literary style combines a naturalistic portrayal of the environment with an introspective exploration of human resilience, capturing the essence of survival in a world dominated by ice and snow. The novel stands as a testament to the early 20th-century exploration literature, intertwining themes of adventure and the profound connection between man and nature. Dillon Wallace, a Canadian explorer and author, drew upon his deep love for wilderness and firsthand experiences in the North while writing this work. His passion for the untamed landscape of Canada, coupled with his time spent among indigenous communities, greatly influenced his storytelling. Wallace's deep understanding of both the physical terrain and the cultural dimensions of the North enabled him to create a rich tapestry that celebrates both the beauty and brutality of Arctic life. "Ungava Bob: A Winter's Tale" is highly recommended for readers who seek an immersive adventure that transcends mere storytelling. Wallace'Äôs evocative prose invites readers to explore the Arctic'Äôs fierce and beautiful reality, offering not only a gripping tale of personal discovery but also a profound meditation on humanity's connection to the natural world.

    Smoke Jensen is mighty proud of his son Louis for finishing law school. But he can't help being a little disappointed that Louis isn't returning to the Sugarloaf Ranch. Instead, he's setting up his own law practice in nearby Big Rock—a career choice that turns out to be every bit as dangerous as fending off cattle rustlers. The boy's first case lands him smack in the middle of a heated dispute between two riled-up ranchers over water rights. If Louis can't settle them down, the whole thing could blow up into a bloody range war. Then a scheming con man shows up in town to stir up trouble—and ends up dead. Now Louis has to defend his sister's boyfriend on murder charges. What's worse, the real killer is still out there. And he's ready to slaughter again . . . 
     
     
     
    Smoke Jensen's son may be a lawyer now. But if there's one thing he learned from his daddy, it's that in places like Big Rock, men live and die by one law alone: the law of the gun . . .

    England, 1618. 
     
     
    At his manor of Thirldon, ex-Justice Belstrang - still at loggerheads with his old rival Justice Standish - receives devastating news: King James intends to purchase the estate for his favourite, the Marquis of Buckingham – and Belstrang must comply. 
     
     
    In the ensuing turmoil, while his son-in-law George petitions the King on his behalf, Belstrang receives a plea from a dying friend, Sir Richard Mountford, to visit him at Foxhill Manor. To take his mind off his troubles Belstrang goes - and discovers things are not so simple. 
     
     
    Sir Richard is not dying, but desperate. His brother John has been killed in an explosion at the family’s iron foundry, down in the remote Forest of Dean. They cast cannons for the Royal Armouries: a privileged and lucrative business. But Sir Richard does not believe John’s death was an accident. 
     
     
    Meanwhile, Mountford's cold-hearted son Francis treats him as an invalid. He fears things are being kept from him - and implores Belstrang to investigate. 
     
     
    The mystery deepens when a forester who was seen talking to Belstrang is murdered. 
     
     
    Only after a violent confrontation on the bleak salt-marshes does the truth begin to unfold - and its implications reach far beyond England’s shores. 
     
     
    This time Belstrang must follow the trail to a very bitter end, which could be the making of him - or cause his undoing.
