The Abysmal Brute - Jack London - Bookniverse

The Abysmal Brute follows Pat Glendon, a mountain-raised young man with incredible boxing talent. Brought to the city by a calculating manager, Pat dominates the ring with natural strength. But behind the cheering crowds lies a dark web of sports betting and fixed fights. As Pat discovers the truth, he must choose between fame and his own integrity.****************************The author, Jack London (1876–1916), was born in San Francisco. His own life was full of adventures, which inspired his stories. Before he became a writer, London sailed on a ship, worked in factories, and even hunted for gold during the Klondike Gold Rush. These tough experiences gave him a lifelong love for nature and physical strength. You can see these themes in his most famous books, The Call of the Wild and White Fang.
