Harold Bindloss
(4,672 Sterne; 96 Bewertungen)
Harold Bindloss, while born in England, based most of his novels in western Canada, and The Protector is based primarily in and around Vancouver and Victoria.
There is often danger involved in the mining and timber industries north of Vancouver, and there is also danger in the trust given to people who own and operate these mines and timber lands. And finding one's way in locating them can be equally as difficult as well. Wallace Vane and his trusted friend Carroll seemed to encounter these dangers in a seemingly endless journey both for business purposes and for adventure in their search for adequate timber land which they had inadvertently heard of.
What is the driving force behind Wallace Vane? Did he regret leaving his home country and the people he knew when he left England, therefore had something to prove, but didn't even realize it himself? Was it simply a secret joy that he received whenever he observed the beauty of his adopted country with its mountains, forests, and crystal clear water? Perhaps it was his reasonable success in the lumber industry? Or was it something deeper within him? Something, perhaps, that he didn't even recognize himself?

excellent reading, great story

In an age when those who themselves are incapable of great things criticize and undercut those who have done and do those things, it is a balm to hear a story about how real men act, and have often acted throughout history. Although this is fiction, it is rooted in the way men have worked and pushed themselves to conquer the challenges of their day. People who judge it as archaic, and use idiot phrases like "toxic masculinity", will not live long enough to see the stupidity and insanity of this age judged even more harshly by future generations. Great story, great reading.
exciting adventure story, with love..
