Beschreibung

Hughes has produced a gripping yarn, vividly bringing the harsh realities of the fur trade to life, in this epic tale of fortune-seeking and ill-starred love.' – Kate Pullinger

'you know what you're getting with a Tristan Hughes novel, and what you're getting is Good... The research is meticulous and judiciously applied, as is the evocation of milieu and environment' – Niall Griffiths, Nation. Cymru



Now what more foolish notion is there than that the Heavens might peek inside our skulls and, seeing the dissatisfied thoughts and daydreams there, decide to send us a Miraculous Solution...



Lower Canada, 1804.
Arthur Stanton, lacking direction in his life and desperately seeking the approval of his father, wanders the streets of Montreal filled with daydreams of exotic lands and adventures inspired by novels and traveller's tales. On a sudden whim he decides to sign up as a clerk in the fur trade and is sent on a mission to recover a cache of furs obtained from a secret beaver El Dorado. Accompanied by a down-at-heel band of voyageurs, led by a disgraced and drunken trader, he embarks on a journey by birchbark canoe into the northern wilderness.

Paddling from Lachine to Lake Superior, and then across the unresolved border between Canada and the United States, Arthur's travels will take him into a series of baffling new worlds, where he will prove himself to be hapless in trade, hopeless in love, and terrified of the landscapes and peoples that surround him. Stumbling from one mishap into another, he will at last fall into disaster, seemingly betray his friends and companions, and have to begin a quest to set things right.

Set amongst the starkly beautiful landscapes of the upper great lakes during an era of blurred and shifting boundaries between nations and cultures, where nothing is certain and misapprehensions can be fatal, Arthur's journey becomes a tragicomic tale of love, loss and redemption.

    Max Westin. Sex incarnate. She could smell it, feel it with his proximity. Everything about him was a little rough, a little gritty. A primitive creature. Just like she was. 
    He held her hand a little too long, his thickly-lashed gaze clearly stating his intentions to have her. To tame her . . . 
    "Victoria." 
    Her name, just one word, but spoken with such possession she could almost feel the collar around her neck. 
    "It's in your nature," he murmured. "The desire to be taken." 
    In this game of cat and mouse, everything is an illusion but the passion is as real as it gets . . .

    However did it come to this? 
    Cobb wanted a simple life. He wanted excellent steaks, great coffee, friends, and a quiet place to restore his favorite ship. Working for a recovery operation turned out to be the best place to find parts cheap. 
    She had other plans for him. 
    He wanted the staff of the deep space salvage ship, OXCART, to treat him just like another member of the crew. Not the man he really was. Light-years from Earth, he thought his secrets, his past, wouldn't matter. Especially not to her. When that past leads them to the SENTINEL, like it or not, the biggest single salvage of all time will change everything. 
    Some secrets are so big, they can start a war. Or stop one. Or remain too big to explain when the timing could not be worse. 
    And it was all the damn cat's fault.
