What Members Thought
Set primarily in BC, but a future, post-nuclear holocaust BC. Violent, grim, people live tough, marginal existences, subject to wild storms, difficult terrain, radiation. The main character Elka was raised by Trapper from a young age, and finds, to her horror, that Trapper is a serial killer. Elka runs away from her former home, and walks hundreds of miles in the hope of reuniting with her parents, who left her many years earlier (with her grandmother) to make their fortunes panning for gold.
