Synopsis
IMAGINE FIGHTING FIRE ALONGSIDE FIREFIGHTERS FROM AMERICA'S PAST
In his first novel, Fires Of Time, 23-year firefighter paramedic, Barry Wilson, draws upon his modern day experience and knowledge to weave a fast-paced tale of adventure unlike any other before. Scott McLean, a veteran firefighter paramedic, travels back in time to observe some of America's greatest fires.
"Stand back, observe and don't get involved," he is directed. Telling a seasoned firefighter to not get involved is like urging a rabid dog to please not bite. The disease is in the dog's blood, it's mind, it's soul ... it has no choice but to bite.
Firefighters throughout history have been smitten with their own unique bug, fueled by compassion for others and the thrill of the fight. Scott McLean is no different. Like firefighters everywhere, he is a different breed of dog. He cares too much to be a bystander and craves the action too much to watch others battle the beast without him. Firefighting is in his blood, his mind, his soul ... Scott has no choice.
The Great Chicago Fire, along with the San Francisco Earthquake and Conflagration, are all physicist Brian Daniels needs to entice Scott to pilot his time machine into the past. A fifth generation firefighter, McLean has lived his life surrounded by his family's fire history and memories of fires past. The opportunity to actually visit those great fires, in person, proves to be too great a temptation to pass up. The face of American history takes on a different countenance after a couple visits by Scott McLean.
