About This Item
New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, 2009. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page. Explorer. Social activist. Romantic. Self-educated genius. White Fang. CALL OF THE WILD, MARTIN EDEN, THE SEA-WOLF. Generations worldwide have been thrilled by his tales, probably never realizing how true to life they really were. He did not imagine the hardships and brutality of life in the Yukon, on the high seas, or in the back alleys of Oakland. He lived them. Few men were his equal and only one woman ever fully captivated his heart. By the time he was forty, no American was more famous. And in the winter of 1915, the great writer set sail on one last adventure.But in this story of that adventure, he is being hunted. Hobart Bosworth -- an aging matinee idol and filmmaker -- is desperate for one more Jack London picture to save his career. Hollywood machinations have driven a wedge between him and his old friend. He has tracked Jack and his wife, Charmian, from the mysterious ruins of their once-magnificent Wolf House across the Pacifi c to the volcanic islands of Hawaii. The Jack London he f nds here is a man half mad with visions, a man struggling with the ghosts of his past, the erotic temptations of the island paradise, and his own wolfl ike nature. Now Hobart's original goal -- to save his studio -- has become a desperate struggle to save his friend and preserve the icon he has become. With or without Charmian London's help. Second novel by the author of THE CHINATOWN DEATH CLOUD PERIL. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] MLBS1
