Publisher Description
In this third Special Agent Henry Lightstone novel, Henry must investigate a militia group, confront a ruthless Congressman with killers-for-hire, and -- with his Fish and Wildlife team -- deal with a warehouse filled with deadly snakes and spiders in this fast-paced thriller that offers suspense and humor in equal measure. Sequel to PREY and WILDFIRE. "A tight, suspenseful environmental thriller that enlightens as well as entertains. Taut, well-written, intriguing..." -The Sullivan County Democrat

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The nonstop antics of this eco-action adventure bring together industrialist arch-villains, congressional caricatures, potbellied militiamen, rogue ArmyRanger-killers-for-hire, undercover FBI agents, Bigfoot and wisecracking Fish and Wildlife swat teams for a backwoods war game that aims for laughs over suspense and occasionally hits both targets. Foiled once too often by Fish and Wildlife superagents, ICER, a committee of ecologically unfriendly businessmen, plays politics to pit the F&W special operations team against an Oregonian backwoods militia, which ICER has hired mercenary Aran Wintersole to train. Lucky for the good guys, their leader, Henry Lightstone, goes undercover to suss out the militia (and in the meantime hits it off with local innkeeper, postmistress and reputed witch Karla and her pet panther). A run-in with Wintersole seals his cover and Henry is recruited to help train the seedy militia being mobilized to lure the F&W agents (supposedly including Lightstone) into a trap. Goddard (Balefire; Prey) gives a lighthearted romp in the woods that should appeal to his fans--and also to readers who have enjoyed Cussler's Dirk Pitt series.
