    About this audiobook

    Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett encounters bad behavior on his own turf--only to have the FBI and the DOJ ask him to stand down--in the thrilling new novel from #1 New York Times-bestselling author C.J. Box. The good news is that Joe Pickett has his job back, after his last adventure in The Disappeared. The bad news is that he's come to learn that a drone is killing wildlife--and the drone belongs to a mysterious and wealthy man whose grandson is dating Joe's own daughter, Lucy. When Joe tries to lay down the rules for the drone operator, he's asked by the FBI and the DOJ to stand down, which only makes him more suspicious. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up in and around Joe's district in shocking numbers. He begins to fear that a pack of four vicious killers working on behalf of the Sinaloa cartel known as the Wolf Pack have arrived. Their target seems to be the mystery man and everyone--including Joe, Nate, and others--who are associated with him. Teaming up with a female game warden (based on a real person, one of the few female game wardens at work in Wyoming today) to confront these assassins, Joe finds himself in the most violent and dangerous predicament he's ever faced.

      Book 19 in the Joe Pickett series was as exciting as every other book I've read or listened to in this series! They are really good on audio but keep me up too late at night listening! Going on to request book 20! Always recommended!
    • 3/5
      Solid, not as excellent as the last couple of books, but definitely entertaining as always. Great series.
    • 4/5
      Another grand read from C. J. Box. He never disappoints.
    • 4/5
      Wolf Pack has its share of violence and body count, however, the plot is tight, action packed, and there is a definite line between the good and evil characters.
    • 4/5
      Easy, fast paced, but predictable read - not too much suspense or surprises. The author seems be writing his novels darker and more violent. As yarns go it is “OK” but just that. You kind of know where this is going from the start.
    • 4/5
      HEY BOX, THE BAD GUYS ARE THE WOLF PACK, NOT THE FBI !!Why did I decide to tread “Wolf Pack” (WP) by C J Box? It’s the 19th in his series on Wyoming Wild game warden Joe Pickett, I had read the first in the series and reviewed if favorably back in 2002, and hadn’t read another since. I usually read a lot of crime fiction, bios, and history and was looking for something different. I love the West (reside on the East Coast), but in my humble opinion the pickin’s are slim in terms of modern day writing talent.Though I rate WP a 4 on Amazon I think that’s a bit inflated and I will score a 3 ½ on LibraryThing. WP has a lot of very strong positives, but also some negatives that really turned me off. So, much like the scenery of Wyoming, a lot of peaks and valleys. Let’s start with the pluses. A lot of good description of the background with real name places, locales you can look up on Bing and Google Maps and explore yourself a bit even if you’re 2000 miles away. A very good plot. A mysterious family has settled in the area, bringing with them a rather extraordinary level of security. Most readers will tumble to the reason why faster than any of the good guys in WP though. Some interesting scenes involving drones and what they can do to/for wildlife. A very interesting cast of bad guys, very credible, horrifying. An excellent climax, really well done. The tension amps up very nicely throughout the second half of the book, and the extended climax is one of the few I have read that is not dragged down by a series on mini climaxes. Sounds like 5 stars so far, even as I write this, but….One of the problems I have with a setting like this one can best be illustrated by some of the very popular BBC mysteries we are blessed with. A current favorite of my household is Midsomer Murders. Great stories every week, typically 3-4 victims in every 90 minute show. The problem is that the setting is a village somewhere or the other in England where everyone knows each other, patronizes each other’s businesses, and kills each other. If anyone were keeping a tab, I think the whole town would be gone by season 3 or so, much like Christie’s “10 Little Indians”, perhaps redone as “200 Little Brits”. Ok, so you have to suspend reality a bit, I get that, but still. Secondly, I’m not crazy about Joe, he sorta comes in a plain vanilla wrapper, but when you open the package, what’s inside is plain vanilla. Joe seems best in this story at just keeping out of the way. Sorry, but I prefer heroes. My third and last knock is a bit political, and upfront I must say I have no idea of the author’s politics nor his intent here, I can only comment on my reaction. There are two FBI characters (and later a third but to a lesser degree) in WP that are over the top. Obnoxious, pushy, bullying, lying, intimidating, entrapping, non-cooperative, unprincipled, and ten more such adjectives. I understand that polls will tell you that many US citizens have that perception of the FBI, particularly in red states. There is a bit of a defense of the two characters approach offered by others but its lame. I am sure there are some that would suggest the author might be pandering to his audience, or in his defense is only re-emphasizing locals’ views of Federal Government in general. My bottomline is that I thought it was a poor decision to do this now, given all the internal attacks on our intelligence services over the past two years.
    • 4/5
      I like every book in the Joe Pickett series and this is another great one, although darker than other entries. Joe is back on the job as a ranger and his family is safe in a new home. He even has a new pickup and it is still in one piece at the end of the book. Nate Romanowski and his falcons play an important part in the solution of the problem of a drone operator spooking wild game and running them to exhaustion or death. The other issue involves a New Joisey bad guy who is in the Witness Protection program and has a human wolf pack on his trail.
    • 5/5
      Joe Pickett is back in his 19th adventure in the series, the plot is very familiar--Joe gets in trouble, Nate gets him out...trouble with the FBI and the Sheriff. Only MIssy and Sheridan don't get to play. Nate seems to be tamed. Bad Jersey boys haunt Joe's district, hunted by a hit squad. C.J Box shows no sign of letting up with this new entry in the series. Couldn't put it down.
    • 5/5
      This series continues at its very high level. Saddlestring remains bucolic but lively as Joe and his family settle into the heir new Ranger's house. Then all hell breaks loose as first mysterious strangers, the FBI and a cartel hit team arrive with some lethal agendas. Lots of collateral damage before Joe and Nat can end the invasion.
    • 5/5
      Small towns in the wilderness do not ordinarily face complex criminal situations. C.J. Box has brilliance in the ability to imagine unique situations with absorbing details that are threats to surroundings most modern civilization is not in tune with. I dare you to read this book in one sitting. You will be chaffng for the next one.
    • 3/5
      Not my favorite entry in this good series
