520 | _aThe Call of the Wild is the story of a dog called Buck, kidnapped from his comfortable domestic life to become a tough sled dog in Alaska but ulimately answering 'the call of the wild' to join a wolf pack. White Fang once again explores the theme of contrast between civilization and savagery when a wild wolf cub is brought up by humans only to become a champion fighting dog. The Game revolves around London's favourite sport of boxing. Joe Fleming is a prize fighter and, on the eve of his wedding, his fiance agrees to watch his last ever fight. The Scarlet Plague was first published in 1912 but tells of a disease that wipes out most of the world's population in 2012. The story is set sixty years later as one of the survivors attempts to pass on a lifetime of wisdom and experience to his grandsons. The Star Power is a prison tale in which the main character endures torture sessions, surviving by entering a trance-like state, when he walks among the stars and experiences past lives. | ||
