Review:

"The writing is superb—hard, lean, expressive prose. The feelings of the men as they work, eat, sleep, talk, are eloquently set forth. It's an exciting story. . .and so real it's hard to believe that the Spitcat never existed, never burnt a tree, so magnificently has Stewart imagined and circumstantially created it."—Christian Science Monitor (Christian Science Monitor)

"A vivid and dramatic account of man pitted against one of his worst enemies. Fire shows the effect of this desperate fight upon the bodies, minds and souls of the men and women involved."—Newsweek (Newsweek)

"An unforgettable novel."—New York Times (New York Times)

"The cumulative effect of the whole thing is tremendous; there's no other word for it."—San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco Chronicle)
