Summed up short, the Hill Division is a vicious piece of track; also, it is a classic in its profound contempt for the stereotyped equations and formulae of engineering. And it is that way for the very simple reason that it could not be any other way. The mountains objected, and objected strenuously, to the process of manhandling. They were there first, the mountains, that was all, and their surrender was a bitter matter.

Autorenporträt
Frank L. Packard was born in 1877 in Montreal, Quebec, to parents James Packard and Mary Elizabeth Adams. Before becoming a writer, he trained as a civil engineer and spent a significant part of his early career working on railway construction projects, which deeply influenced his later literary work. His technical background provided him with insights into the operations and intricacies of the railroad industry, forming the foundation for much of the setting and realism in his fiction. Packard began writing in the early 1900s and soon gained recognition for his gripping crime and adventure stories. His narratives frequently featured criminal enterprises, encrypted messages, and daring escapades, often led by complex protagonists. Among his most notable characters was a suave, masked figure known as the Gray Seal, who appeared in several books under the identity of Jimmie Dale. These stories blended suspense and action with clever criminal intrigue. Packard s novels, such as The Wire Devils, showcased a unique mix of engineering precision and dramatic storytelling. His work appealed to readers seeking fast-paced plots within vivid and shadowy settings. Frank L. Packard died in 1942, leaving behind a legacy of adventurous fiction rooted in both professional experience and imaginative storytelling.
