Fire at Red Lake

A group of high‑school friends—Sandy Steele, his pal Jerry James, and the brainy “Quiz” Taylor—set out on a dusty road toward a remote lakeside lodge owned by Sandy’s uncle, a former war hero turned research executive. Their rickety station wagon bumps through pine‑filled hills, and the boys banter about the strange mix of rugged wilderness and the shadow of the powerful World Dynamics Corporation that looms over their vacation.

When they finally pull up to the massive log lodge on the shore of Red Lake, they are greeted by Uncle Russ, a larger‑than‑life hunter whose reputation as a respected military leader seems at odds with his laid‑back hospitality. As the teens settle in, the pristine beauty of the lake and the quiet of the forest mask an undercurrent of secrecy, and the arrival of the mysterious “gooseneck” connection between the twin lakes hints that their summer adventure may soon spark more than just campfires.
