Description
The unpredictable forces of nature have long been the cause of terrible disasters on sea and land, and in the air. Other disasters have been the result of human error. But all disasters have one thing in common - the tragic loss of life, bravery in the face of danger, and heroic rescue attempts. This collection tells the stories of some of Canada's worst disasters and, as a result, some of the country's most daring rescues.
About the author
Toronto native and full-time freelancer Art Montague writes feature articles on (mostly) Canadian accomplishments for American and international print publications. Writing books for the Amazing Stories series has allowed him to research and write in the fields he most enjoys: history, crime and biography. Time permitting, he also writes crime and mystery fiction.
