Résumé
"A stunning period tale in which the oft-forgotten essence of the American dream is visible in every chapter." - Publisher's Weekly, starred review"Dramatic and suspenseful, full of despair and hope." - Booklist, starred review"The prizefight and deer hunt sequences are worthy of Jack London"- Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel"Poyer, who grew up in Bradford, has been compared to Steinbeck, with good cause." - Pittsburgh Post- GazetteIn the depths of the Depression, young wellshooter and aspiring boxer W.
T. "Kid Nitro" Halvorsen starts a strike in the Pennsylvania oilfields after a massive refinery disaster exposes the Thunder Oil Company's neglect of workers' safety. As the violence escalates, Halvorsen, CIO organizer and secret Communist Doris Gurley Golden, strikebreaker Pearl Deatherage, and Thunder Oil owner Daniel Thunner battle to decide the fate of Hemlock County - and whether the bloodshed there will ignite a revolution that will shake all America.
DAVID POYER grew up in Western Pennsylvania. Millions of copies of his nearly fifty books are in print, including the 22 bestselling Dan Lenson novels of the modern Navy; historical fiction set during the Civil War; and the Tiller Galloway diving adventures, HATTERAS BLUE, BAHAMAS BLUE, LOUISIANA BLUE, DOWN TO A SUNLESS SEA, and YUCATAN BLUE. His work has been translated into Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, Hungarian, and Spanish.
Poyer's least-known body of work, however, may be his Hemlock County series, set in a Faulknerian imaginary county in rural Pennsylvania. The first was THE DEAD OF WINTER (Tor Books); the second, WINTER IN THE HEART (Forge). AS THE WOLF LOVES WINTER was an alternate selection of The Literary Guild and the Doubleday Book Club. THUNDER ON THE MOUNTAIN, a historical novel set in Depression-era Pennsylvania, was released by Forge Books/St Martin's Press, and received starred reviews from all three major reviewing agencies.
THE HILL is a coming of age novel, also set in Hemlock County. Poyer serves on the board of the Northern Appalachian Review and teaches as core faculty at the Ossabaw Writers Retreat.
