Book Description
It's the place where David Brendt and his buddies, Hoover, Buzz, and Stan Slouski go to get away from it all. For twenty years it has served them well as a temporary refuge from the stress of modern life. Not that Dave's been there lately. With the young girlfriend and his partnership in a night club in Milwaukee, he's been just a little too busy to head north whenever the spirit moved him. But when the girlfriend bails, and the business goes bust, Dave decides that it is high time to head for God's country. The Lodge is located on Spirit Lake, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, (The Yoop). Dave wastes no time throwing some fishing gear and liquor in the trunk of his car and putting Brew town in his rearview mirror. Along the way he meets Lisa the ex-biker chick, Fuzzy the drunk, and Playmate Ashley, all with their own reasons for hiding out from the civilized world. He will also cross paths with Crash Maddox, an outlaw biker with a gang of ruthless cutthroats backing him up and a score to settle with Lisa. When an unexpected forest fire bears down on Spirit Lake, everyone there finds themselves in a fight for their lives. Some will live and some will die, but in the end, even those who survive will never be the same.
