The Brotherhood of the Local Yokels
Bootknife and the rest of the Local Yokels—members of a volunteer fire service—find themselves in a weeklong stretch of structure fires. With this many fires being a rarity in Uville, Bootknife and his fellow firefighters’ skills will be put to the test. When they arrive at one of the worst fires they’ve ever been called to, three of the firefighters are trapped in a series of collapses on the first and second floors of the structure, leaving them fighting for their lives.
Local Yokels offers an insider’s view of the brotherhood of the fire service, with characters based on real volunteer and career firefighters. Full of adventure, humor, and heart-gripping tension, it’s a dynamic debut novel.
