R. A. Pace worked as a new journalist for nearly a decade while gathering the material for Mountain Cove Forest: Or, the Commander. All the same, the enclosed literary work tells the ancient story of heaven and hell, drawing from the poetry of John Milton while keeping with the literary styles of Samuel Beckett and Ernest Hemingway. To be appreciated intellectually, Mountain Cove Forest is also a stab at the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, hopefully exciting the reader to think critically, even when challenged to not do so.
