About This Book

The narrative follows Vane as he moves between Vancouver's business circles and the remote timberlands, negotiating boardroom disputes, social introductions, and a planned voyage north. In the wilderness he faces misadventures, a search that becomes urgent after a flood and an intercepted letter, and strained relationships involving Jessy, Carroll, and others. Episodes range from canoeing and hunting with hounds to storm-bound days and bushcraft, building toward a resolution where testimony restores Vane's standing. Themes examine survival in untamed country, the friction between enterprise and personal loyalty, and persistence amid misunderstanding.
