Summary "The Flaming Mountain: A Rick Brant Science-Adventure Story" by Harold L. Goodwin is a novel written in the early 1960s. This adventure story revolves around the teenage protagonist, Rick Brant, and his friend, Scotty, as they join forces with scientists to tackle the impending eruption of the volcano El Viejo on the island of San Luz. The narrative promises a blend of scientific intrigue, danger, and the challenge of battling nature's catastrophic forces. At the start of the story, Rick and Scotty work on a detailed scale model of San Luz for a significant meeting at the Spindrift Scientific Foundation, led by Rick's father, Dr. Hartson Brant. Their excitement heightens when they learn there is a potential volcanic eruption threatening the small island, where many residents, driven by superstition, are unaware of the imminent danger. As the plot unfolds, the team of scientists discovers increasing geological activity and the possibility of using scientific tactics, including nuclear options, to avert disaster. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a suspenseful and action-packed adventure, filled with scientific exploration and the urgency to save lives before the volcano erupts.
