Customer Reviews

Comparable to Jack London's work.

Richard Wheeler's novels are the richest and most humanistic to be found among today's writers of the American West. Aftershocks, a story set in the tumult of the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906, is reminiscent of Jack London's character-rich tales, such as The Valley of the Moon and Burning Daylight.
