"When Titans Drive" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Bob Bainbridge, a young man who is deeply involved in the lumber industry, as he faces a disastrous sabotage of his logging operations. The opening chapters set the stage for conflict, showcasing Bainbridge's determination as he encounters treachery from rival lumber interests while trying to manage a critical drive of logs down a river. At the start of the novel, Bainbridge is jolted awake by a mysterious explosion in the night, which he suspects is tied to the sabotage of his dam. He and his companion, John Tweedy, quickly assess the damage, realizing the catastrophic implications for their company’s finances and operations. As the plot unfolds, Bainbridge embodies resilience and leadership amidst adversity, planning to salvage what he can from the impending crisis.
