Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm almost done the book. It is great! The Sentinel is full of a lot of humour, a great number of intertwined storylines, and numerous teaching moments. The McNeil character is only one of many that are both entertaining and have depth.

Within a relatively short snapshot intime, thirty-four days, on a significant piece of forestland, eighty thousand one hundred and fifty hectares, orclose to two hundred thousand acres, a drama unfolds. It isthe drama associated with the very real story of wildfire.Antagonists impacted by wildfire include not only the higherspecies, or so we'd like to see ourselves, but also ourcodependants we categorize as flora and fauna.A fastmoving cold front crosses northeastern Ontario, bringingwith it heavy lightning and the promise of wildfire due toextreme drought conditions. An aging trapper spends a lastsummer in his cabin and struggles to come to terms with theloss of his wife and his own mortality. A sow bear and hercub wander into unfamiliar territory in search of food inorder to survive.Ontario's fire staff, faced with theworst fire season they've experienced in a decade, will bepushed to the brink when Wawa fire 43 cannot be contained.And an ancient white pine on a ridge bears witness to eventsas they unfold, events that may result in devastatingconsequences for this sentinel of the forest.
