The Arctic Queen and Other Stories by Burr Cook Book Summary

This is a book of 6 short stories. Story 1 is an action packed spy story in which a secret experiment in Germany involving changing DNA in a human egg creates a super strong man who escapes from the laboratory and hides out in northern Canada. He meets a beautiful Native American girl by the name of Oriel who he wants to marry but there are complications. In story 2 a teen age boy (Billy) with abusive parents runs away from his tenement home in Brooklyn and hides out in a tent near the Appellation trail in Massachusetts, meets up with a tramp (Bud) and has an adventuresome summer camping out with his new friend. Story 3 is total nonsense and was written for those who enjoy wasting time. It is made up of old jokes most of which are not original. The jokes are loosely woven into a story about a mental patient who is released from a sanitarium prematurely. Number 4 is about a man who testifies against a gangster and enters the witness program. When the criminals discover where he is hiding he goes on the run hiding out with Native Americans in Northern Canada. Story 5 is about a city politician who is arrested for accepting a bribe and gets cleared by a chance twist of fate and in story 6 a young cowgirl meets a man who turns out to have some very weird characteristics. They fall in love in spite of a seemingly insurmountable difference in backgrounds.
