A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Unique among books about the famous Adirondack Park of New York State, Mists of the Couchsacrage is an exciting action adventure tale involving a remote wet land area on restricted state land, a plane crash involving a very important passenger, a severe ice storm, and the travails of a four person rescue party as they struggle to get to any survivors. Interesting characters are everywhere, with lots of entertaining dialogue. Rescuers include a bitter guide, an environmentally conscious forest ranger, a tough policewoman from the city, and a drunken medic with horrible memories. Caught also in the ice storm is a gang of desperate drug runners, crossing the icy morass to escape scenes of unspeakable crimes. Plane crash survivors, the rescue party, and a band of heartless killers: stories interwoven in the deadly frozen marsh! Who will come out alive?

Biographie de l'auteur

A fourth generation Adirondacker, Alden L. Dumas, who has also written a classic western, Sons of the Double J (available through Author House, link is at the bottom of this page) has enjoyed the outdoors most of his life, largely at a camp on leased property. A devotee of sound ecologic practices, he nevertheless sees no need for environmental groups to lobby for the purchase of "every square inch of Adirondack land." A volunteer fireman, he was on duty during the great ice storm of 1998, giving a basis for this story. He was born in Tupper Lake, N.Y. in 1940. He graduated from Tupper Lake High School in 1958. After he graduated from SUNY Cortland in 1962, he taught for eight years in McGraw, N.Y., before he, his wife Pauline, and their three sons, Matthew, Jay, and Andrew, moved to Keene Valley, N.Y., where he retired in 1996.
