When his work captures the attention of an eccentric Slovakian count, Flood is summoned to a faraway castle -- a moving labyrinth that embodies the count's obsession with puzzles -- where he is commissioned to create the infinite book, the ultimate never-ending story. Probing the nature of books, the human thirst for knowledge, and the pursuit of immortality, \u003ci\u003eSalamander\u003c\/i\u003e careens through myth and metaphor as Flood travels the globe in search of materials for the elusive book without end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Wharton's\u003c\/b\u003e first novel, \u003ci\u003eIcefields, \u003c\/i\u003e won the Writers Guild of Alberta Best First Book Award and the Banff Mountain Book Festival Grand Prize.
