    Great storyline. I enjoy this author's books. The narrator's voice was clear and easy for me to hear. I did feel a bit frustrated in the length of the pauses in narration. At the end of one chapter or section and before the next chapter number was announced, there were several seconds of what I would call dead space. Same thing when the chapter number was announced until the story narration started up again. Would give this 5 stars except for that.

    Started reading and got to the part where Joe is being chased by the twins and didn't know if I wanted to go any further. Pretty frightening. I'm not usually such a chicken so I pressed on. Certainly glad I did. This book was thoroughly enjoyable. Got to the point where I didn't want to put it down. Seems to me it's been quite awhile since his last book and hope the next one won't be so long in coming. Thanks, C.J., for a good read. It's always amazing to me the ability of writers to capture your interest, no matter who you are, by plying their craft in such a way that you want to go on the journey with them. Quite a ride.

    I'm torn. While reading this book, I really wanted to plan a backpacking trip to Wyoming. But the story is bland, and I was really turned off at the end by the convoluted BS the author had to go through to turn this into a political screed against "socialism." Militias don't give a shit about socialism, they are way more pissed off by corporatism in government. And in fact, it was corporatism that was the enemy of the antagonists in this story, too bad the author had to screw things up to make weak political statements. Won't be reading another CJ Box novel, that's for sure.

    I won this book thru Good Reads and I was really excited about it. It is my first novel that I have read by C.J. Box and I was quite impressed with this. This is the second book I have ever read that has the main character as a Game Warden. I look forward to more books by this author. I like the author’s descriptions of the areas of southern Wyoming. Literally I could not put this book down, it is packed full of excitement and twists and turns. It is really hard to write a review about this book without spoiling the plot. All I can say is if you get the chance, pick up this book, you will not be disappointed.

    Awesome book! I was 3 behind when the new one came out last week, so now on to Cold Wind... this book by far was my favorite, a little bloody but so well written! I really love the decriptives CJ adds to every book , I can see myself riding in the woods and mountains, vicariously of course. If you enjoy keeping up with a series don't miss this one.

    Very suspenseful and quick-moving. I probably could have read it in one night if I didn't have homework! I wish Marybeth and the girls had been more involved, as I love them almost as much as Joe and Nate. Probably the most gritty of the series, at least according to my foggy memory. I really enjoyed the topic and themes of the novel, as it seems to be becoming more relevant by the day! I am now a little more afraid of going into the backcountry of my own Snowies.

    Joe's been released from his banishment and is being allowed to return home to his old district and his family. But before he leaves he's going to make a week-long swing through the Sierra Nevada's on horseback to see if he can locate whoever's been harassing campers and poaching elk. Nothing too complicated. The trip starts smoothly enough, but it all goes downhill from there. With a plot involving a missing Olympic hopeful, dead horses, dead mercenaries, survivalist brothers, and of course politics, this is probably my least favorite Box book yet. Moral ambiguity aside, the joke about the UP got old, and if that wasn't enough getting belabored by "the government is taking over" polemic got really old.

    Joe Pickett is back, and his involuntary exile to remote parts of Wyoming is about to end. Better yet, his old job in Saddle Back is available so he can move back home with his wife and family. But first, he goes off on one last call after a complaint by a hunter concerning the theft of his moose carcass. Also, vandalism of campsites and such has been noticed in the area. What should have been a routine call, ends up being a life-threatening, suspense-filled situation. Joe goes alone and encounters two huge twins who kill his horses but spare Joe except for shooting a homemade arrow through his thigh. He is nursed by a woman in a remote cabin who he eventually identifiers as a missing long-distance runner. After Joe recovers, he and Nate Romanowski go back to the area to bring the twins and the runner back to civilization since they are living illegally on government land. Various issues concerning the increasing power and scope of the federal government are addressed in the book. Nate's roll as Joe's sidekick is also expanded in this book. All in all, it's another great entry in the series and is not to be missed.

    Joe Pickett has been away from home for a year. In his last week as temporary game warden in the town of Baggs, Wyoming, he takes a final trek through the mountains to check on who has been looting cabins and killing elk. When he comes across a tall, thin, rangy looking guy filling a bag with fish he has caught, something doesn’t look right to Joe. He isn’t dressed for fishing, he’s in the middle of nowhere, and he’s packing. When Joe asks to see his fishing license, the man says it’s back at camp. Joe follows him and meets a twin. Caleb and Camish Grim have an undercurrent of danger and when they fail to come up with a fishing license, Joe hands them a citation. But the brothers aren’t done with him yet. Skilled with a bow and arrow and a spine-tingling penchant for eating raw flesh, they kill both of Joe’s horses and leave him for dead. A woman in an isolated cabin tends to his wounds and he barely escapes with his life as the brothers track him down. The woman looks vaguely familiar. An Olympic hopeful disappeared in the mountains a couple years ago but Joe isn’t sure if he isn’t hallucinating. When he is finally rescued and recuperating in a hospital, few believe his story and Joe’s beginning to wonder if there isn’t more to the Brothers Grim when a man claiming to be from the Department of Criminal Investigation starts interrogating him and is especially interested in a pink iPod holder one of the Grim brothers was carrying. The missing Olympic runner had a pink iPod when she disappeared. Once healed, Joe enlists the help of his friend, Nate, to go back into the mountains to find Diane Shober, the runner, and find out what happened to a team of “guns for hire” who decided to find the Grim brothers on their own. A terrifying page turner that will keep you up late into the night.

    This series just keeps getting better and better. Joe Pickett and the rest of the regular characters are so well written that I feel like I know each and every one of them personally. The storylines are very engaging, thoughtful, and action-packed. I'm getting sad that I've almost caught up with the author and soon I'm going to have to wait just like everyone else for the next installment.

    CJ Box is an amazing writer. I believe I am there right next to Joe in the mountains. The reader is perfectly Joe.

    Ok, but nothing special. Just another page turner to pass the time. Too much anti-government sentiment, too many wrong details, and too little character development. This author is the James Patterson of the outdoor fiction genre. It’s back to re-reading Craig Johnson for me.
