Foreword
The mountains and forests… tall trees, rocky slopes, gracefully arching ferns, gurgling brooks.
Contradictions to Man’s inevitable march of progress—or a state of nature as natural and desirable as Henry David Thoreau portrayed it in his timeless writings? For Ben Littlecreek, occasional guide and escapist from the smog and bustle and neuroses of urban blight, it is a life. He is not a bum; he is probably more sane than any corporate vice-president, for he knows the secret of life. Time. You’ve only got so much… and no more.
Enter Phil Evans. He is the corporate type, but he’s unwittingly become involved with a ruthless mobster whose merchandise is the national security of an entire country. Phil is a courier, who, when he discovered what he was carrying, sounded his conscience then sounded the alarm.
But who will reach Phil first? “Big Al” Romano, his revenge-bent former employer—or the FBI, who Phil has contacted. Only Ben can save him, and the pressure of outside dangers bonds these two in a marriage first of necessity and ultimately of love and peaceful acquiescence to their basic love of freedom and nature.
