Om denne e-bog
In this “pulse-pounding thriller” (Publishers Weekly), nineteen-year-old Blair's passion for fighting fires lands her a spot with the Forest Service and sets her on a wilderness adventure that quickly turns catastrophic.
“Never less than riveting.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
How far would you go to save yourself?
Blair Scott is in her second season as a wildland firefighter when the Forest Service puts out a call for an additional class of smoke jumpers. She and her best friend, Jason, both apply, though neither expects to get in since they’re only nineteen. But it’s been a devastating fire season, and they are both accepted. Of course, going to training camp is only the first step—everyone expects the teenage rookies will wash out in the first week. Blair has always been touchy about people telling her she isn’t good enough, so she begins taking unnecessary risks to prove herself. It doesn’t take long before everything spins out of control, leaving Blair struggling to cope.
A story of courage, self-knowledge, and ultimate triumph over the elements, Jumper is a dramatic wilderness adventure that explores what it takes to survive—in every sense of the word.
