Publisher Description
Outlaw falconer Nate Romanowski is off the grid and out for revenge in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C. J. Box.
The campaign of destruction that Axel Soledad and Dallas Cates wreaked on Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett left both men in tatters, especially Nate, who lost almost everything. Wondering if the civilized life left him vulnerable to attack, Nate dropped off the grid with his falcons in tow to prepare for vengeance.
When Joe gets a call from the governor asking for help finding his son-in-law, who has gone missing in the Sierra Madre mountain range, he enlists the help of a local, a rookie game warden named Susan Kany.
As Nate and fellow falconer Geronimo Jones circle closer to their prey, Joe and Susan follow the nearly cold trail to Warm Springs. Little do Nate and Joe know that their separate journeys are about to converge . . . at Battle Mountain.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
One man’s quest for revenge leads to an explosive confrontation in this high-stakes action thriller. After the brutal murder of his wife, falconer Nate Romanowski has retreated to the backwoods, until his friend Geronimo Jones tracks him down and suggests they team up to hunt down the killer. Meanwhile, game warden Joe Pickett has his own down-low mission, searching for the governor’s son-in-law, who seems to have gone missing on a hunting trip in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We were instantly drawn into both storylines and loved how masterfully author C. J. Box brings them together, leading to a breathless and unforgettable finale. As always, Box excels at revealing the beauty and brutality of nature, creating vistas that act as a stark contrast with the depravity of humans. Battle Mountain takes human versus nature to the next level.
Customer Reviews
Up to C.J. Box’s standards.
Thoroughly enjoyable.
They’d Back!
5 Stars. They are BACK. This was vintage Box, Pickett and Company. Just full speed from start to finish. Probably one of the best in the series. It was equally great to wrap up the story of an extremely evil character. Things are evolving for Joe and I can’t wait to see what’s next. It was nice to have Governor Rulon back, too.

Another great Joe Picket read!
