Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Furnace of Earth
On its heels came stealthily a yellowish dim ness; a sullen bank of cloud crept swiftly along the northern horizon. From a thin, black line, it grew to a pall, rising ominous and threatening. Quick ?ashes pricked its jagged edge. Beneath it the sea turned to a weight of liquid lead.
The boy Richard rose fascinated, his eyes upon the advancing squall, his ears open to the rising breathing of the waves, troubled by under dreams. His lips were parted eagerly, and his browned hands clutched at the brim of his hat. Often and often, from his window, he had seen the power of the storm; now its near and in timate presence throbbed through him.
