Media Reviews

"Plot turnarounds and double-crosses ensure a startling conclusion." - PW.
"The slam-bang action, wilderness locale, and climactic plot twists will have readers eagerly awaiting Alex's next adventure." - Library Journal.
"The cast is strong and the local color vivid as ever, but this time, the plot has the phoned-in feel of characters in search of a story." - Kirkus.
