Add to basketUncommon in dustjacket. Spitcat, a raging forest fire in the Sierra Nevada of California, had a lifespan of merely eleven days, yet its effects could be reckoned ahead in centuries. So writes George R. Stewart in this engrossing novel of a fire started by lightning in the dry heat of September, and fanned out of control by unexpected winds. The book begins with the origins of the fire?smoldering quietly at first, unnoticed, then suddenly bursting into a terrifying inferno, devouring trees and animals over acre after acre and leaving nothing but desolation in its wake. Firefighters and lookouts, forest rangers and smokejumpers?as well as animals in the forest, many of them the bewildered victims of the blaze, and all the varied tress and bushes there?are characters of this realistic story.
