Summary "Fire of Retribution" by Laurence Donovan is a thrilling novel likely written in the late 1920s, during the early 20th century. The book deals with themes of survival and courage set against the harrowing backdrop of a raging forest fire threatening a logging crew. It captures the intense experience of characters risking their lives to save others, embroiled in a story of betrayal and vengeance. The narrative follows old Beth, a seasoned logger, who must make a daring jump from a plane to save his trapped crew from a catastrophic fire. Alongside him is Jack Singer, a mechanic and pilot, who disregards his own safety to help Beth in this dangerous rescue mission. As they descend, they face harrowing obstacles, from mechanical failures to flames threatening their escape route. Throughout the story, themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the consequences of vengeance unfold as the logging crew fights for their lives, with the climax revealing a shocking twist of fate regarding the antagonist behind the fire. The camaraderie among the characters and their relentless battle against nature's fury drive the suspenseful plot to its gripping conclusion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
