Warden Force - Season 2 (Episodes 14-26‪)‬

Book 2 in the Warden Force series



"Not even in your imagination could you conjure up the intriguing stories in Terry Hodges' latest book. Most people have no idea how dangerous and complex a warden's job is, but they will, when they read this book. It's hard to put down without saying to yourself, One more story, just one more story." – Bob Simms, KFBK Radio, Sacramento


"Lieutenant Terry Hodges is to wildlife protectors what Joseph Wambaugh is to big-city cops. ...evocative story-telling" – Paul Dean, Los Angeles Times


"...great true stories by this celebrated and very talented California conservation officer and outdoor writer, and they have become required reading for fish and game cops across North America. He portrays game poachers and violators for what they are – thieves who steal fish, fur and game from everyone. This is a great read, and one every law officer and sportsman should read." – Dave Richey, Outdoor Writer, The Detroit News
