Back to the wild timber country, where a man could plunder a fortune, went Carl Hansen -- the giant viking they had once run out of town. Hansen had brains and guts and two big fists to win what he so grimly wanted -- a forest empire and a girl the town said was too good for him. He took them all on -- the clan bent on vengeance, the sudden perils of the great rain forests, even the girl herself, in a bitter struggle that could end only in triumph or death.. A driving novel of the wild country where each man is a law unto himself.
