Fighting fires since 1965, veteran smokejumper Murry Taylor finally
retired from his legendary career after last summer-the worst fire
season in more than fifty years. After three decades of parachuting
out of planes and battling blazes in the vast, rugged wilderness of
Alaska and the West, Taylor recounts in "Jumping Fire," with
passion and honesty, stories of man versus nature at its most
furious and unforgiving. He shares what it's like to hear the
deafening roar, to smell the acrid burn, to feel the intense heat,
to breathe the thick fumes, and to finally run for your life with
exploding flames two hundred feet high and a mile wide licking at
your heels.
Written with a keen eye for detail and a talent for storytelling,
""Jumping Fire" is a tale of love and loss, life and death, and
sheer hard work, set in an unforgiving and unforgettable landscape,
that's second only to Norman Maclean's classic "Young Men and
Fire"" ("Publishers Weekly").
