| Summary |
"The Adam Chaser" by B. M. Bower is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story features Professor Abington, a young archaeologist drawn to the Sonora caves in Arizona, where he faces unexpected challenges involving both the treacherous landscape and the fate of others. The narrative intertwines themes of adventure, survival, and the pursuit of knowledge, set against the rugged backdrop of the American West. The opening of the novel introduces Professor Abington, who finds himself stranded in a remote canyon after his car breaks down. As he deals with the harsh desert environment, he encounters a deputy sheriff transporting a dangerous prisoner, Bill Jonathan, who cleverly escapes, taking the sheriff's car with him. Abington's interest in the contents of the cigarette case he encounters adds a layer of mystery and foreboding, hinting at future complications that will arise as the characters' fates become intertwined in their quest for both survival and discovery. The stage is set for an adventure marked by archaeological intrigue and personal revelations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
