Campbell's Kingdom
Autor Hammond Innesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iun 2013
At thirty-six, ex-serviceman Bruce Wetheral is looking hopelessly in the face of a terminal diagnosis. But a lawyer delivers his grandfather's will before Bruce can start writing his own. The old man has bequeathed Bruce Campbell's Kingdom: a vast stretch of the Canadian Rockies.
It's a legacy of dashed hopes and ghost towns, where his grandfather was convinced, in spite of all evidence, that there was oil to be found and mined. So, Bruce sets off across this perilous landscape, determined to discover and tap his inheritance against all the odds.

Notă biografică
Ralph Hammond Innes was born in Horsham, Sussex, on 15 July 1913 and educated at Cranbrook School, Kent. He left school aged eighteen, and worked successively in publishing, teaching and journalism. In 1936, in need of money in order to marry, he wrote a supernatural thriller, The Doppleganger, which was published in 1937 as part of a two-year, four book deal. In 1939 Innes moved to a different publisher, and began to write compulsively, continuing to publish throughout his service in the Royal Artillery during the Second World War.
Innes travelled widely to research his novels and always wrote from personal experience - his 1940s novels The Blue Ice and The White South were informed by time spent working on a whaling ship in the Antarctic, while The Lonely Skier came out of a post-war skiing course in the Dolomites. He was a keen and accomplished sailor, which passion inspired his 1956 bestseller The Wreck of the Mary Deare. The equally successful 1959 film adaptation of this novel enabled Innes to buy a large yacht, the Mary Deare, in which he sailed around the world for the next fifteen years, accompanied by his wife and fellow author Dorothy Lang.
Innes wrote over thirty novels, as well as several works of non-fiction and travel journalism. His thrilling stories of spies, counterfeiters, black markets and shipwreck earned him both literary acclaim and an international following, and in 1978 he was awarded a CBE. Hammond Innes died at his home in Suffolk on 10th June 1998.
