This book is interesting from start to finish. Of course, as with most books, the deeper into the story you get, the more engrossed the reader becomes.  I am now a big Mike Delaney fan and think this book is very well written. The characters are deep enough that the reader feels as if he knows them. The storyline starts off innocently enough with the main character, Gus O'Neill, simply wanting to take the summer off to clear his mind and be alone in the Alaskan wilderness. What Gus finds is beyond bizarre; yet, seemingly, commonplace in the backwoods of Alaska.Gus spends part of the summer building a small and simple cabin that is comfortable enough for he and his friends to enjoy while hunting and fishing in Alaska, when on vacation. After building the cabin, Gus finds a near drowned young woman and the adventure begins.  A great story, easy to read and follow.  I found the book captivating.
