I have read all of Pyper's books and this is a good as the rest. Terrific attention to detail and a fascinating depiction of the living elements of fire and nature. The mystery of who set the fire becomes secondary to the story of whether the protagonist will find his way, but this is a good thing. Pyper is a brilliant writer and deserves much more attention than he gets.
