Fire on the Mountain

Edward Abbey Series, Book 3

By: Edward Abbey

Narrated by: Danny Campbell

A half-century after its original publication, Edward Abbey's classic 1962 novel, Fire on the Mountain, still retains its beauty, power, and relevance. This extraordinary tale by the legendary icon of the environmentalism movement and author of The Monkey Wrench Gang proudly celebrates rugged American individualism, as it tells the story of one tough old loner's stand against the combined, well-armed forces of government that are determined to clear him from his land.

Critic reviews

"One of the very best writers to deal with the American West." (Washington Post)

Ever impressed by Abbey

I read 4 of his more popular books last year, and got this because I was jonesing for more and I LOVE this narrator. I was a little hesitant because it was an earlier work and I though that maybe he hadn’t developed his voice yet. I was so wrong. It’s pure Abbey. I already thought he was brilliant. Now I KNOW he was brilliant, and stands with the best authors of the 20th century. I loved this book as much as any other.

great story

This is a great story with a great narrator. Well worth a listen. I highly recomend.

Excellent Abbey

Capturing Abbey's themes of defiance, natural splendor, and commitment, this is a must read. It captures a proud American spirit and beautifully renders a countryside worth saving and freedoms worth preserving.

Excellent story and well-told!

Edward Abby is a much better writer than I expected. I could feel every sentiment, see every landscape, and smell every smell he described. It was a great story that kept one on the edge of their seat.

Great book

A truly fantastic book narrator Campbell at his best, Edward Abbey at his best thank you Mr Abbey
