|
The Circle is a tale of adventure, of avarice, of courage and relates the lives and loves of two men separated by time, but joined by blood. Set in the lush landscape of the Pacific Northwest, The Circle begins in a time when history and myth intermingled. It is the story of one boy's ordeal as he comes to grips with the natural forces and his inner turmoil during lonely initiation rites and later chronicles his crucial part in the struggle between white and native races at the far edges of a young America. The Circle sweeps through a hundred years to Jack Rikert, a newly minted Marine Corps hero of an unpopular war. Thrust into another death or glory mission, in the name of a promise to a fallen comrade, he joins with an old love to search the Washington coast for the whereabouts of the tomb of his Indian ancestor and the storied treasure that lies within. Peopled with unforgettable characters, The Circle is also a story of anger and passion, peace and war, which carries all the drama and rich emotions of a bygone time that helped shape the mosaic of our country. The Circle’s theme is that promises made and kept and the good deeds we do have an effect. Like all human quests, it’s elemental.
