Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Incendiary
But the fire met no such impediment. Suddenly an explosion of uncertain origin shook the air, and the onlookers retreated in terror, as if the ground were yawn ing beneath them. Of a sudden one, two, three slack, snaky hose lines rounded out, and a burst of foam, bat tering in window-panes and sashes, inaugurated the great combat of elements - one angry, vindictive, as if ravening to sunder the bonds of control cast about it by the pigmy, its master, the other docile and benignant, but in the end the more puissant of the two.
