He\u2019s then approached by a shadowy group of local militant activists that is gaining in power and influence, and demanding that Wyoming join other western states and secede from the union\u2014by force, if necessary. They ask Nate to throw in with them, but he\u2019s wary. Should he trust them, or is he being set up?<\/p>\n<p>As a storm of peril gathers around them, Joe and Nate confront it in different ways\u2014and maybe, for the first time, on opposite sides. (from the publisher)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of CJ Box&#8217;s books. There is a lot of action, eccentric characters and twisty mysteries. Box&#8217;s ability to describe the beauty of the American West is unparalleled &#8211; without flourishes or unnecessary description, he is able to transport you to the land, it&#8217;s weather and it&#8217;s wildlife effortlessly. Centering the entire series is Joe Pickett with his unshakeable morals and sense of fairness. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett investigates a mysterious death at a secret remote high-tech facility in Storm Watch by\u00a0C.J.
