Okay, I'm the author of the book: I'm not going to hide behind a false identity and flog my own work. But this is a good book about four fine young people who lost their lives fighting a fire in a remote canyon in north-central Washington and then were blamed for their own deaths. Time and the law courts -- and this book -- have exonerated them from that charge: the incident commander eventually acknowledged that he had lied about telling the four to join him in what luckily proved to be a safer place, and thus saved himself from a trial on felony charges for negligence. He never should have faced criminal charges for the mistakes he made, but he shouldn't have lied about who was responsible for the deaths in the first place.
