    About this audiobook

    Deep in the isolated Northwest Territories, four friends are on the trip of a lifetime. Dropped by helicopter into the remote Canadian wilderness, Hutch, Terry, Phil, and David are looking to escape the events of a tumultuous year - a bitter divorce, bankruptcy, depression, and job loss - for two weeks of hunting, fishing, and camping.

    Armed only with a bow and arrow and the basics for survival, they've chosen a place far from civilization, a retreat from their turbulent lives. But they quickly discover that another group has targeted the remote region and the secluded hamlet of Fiddler Falls for a more menacing purpose: to field-test the ultimate weapon.

    With more than a week before the helicopter rendezvous and no satellite phone, they must risk everything to help the townspeople who are being held hostage and terrorized.

    • 2/5
      This was a typical story about the bad guys taking over a town and the few who tried to free the town while avoid getting killed. The cover makes it look more exciting than it really was. Not much was made of the bow and arrow, which was to me a disappointment as I bought the book thinking it would be unique and exciting in showing how an overwhelming power is taken down by primitive means.
    • 4/5
      A well written thriller in which a band of six totally amoral young people take a small town hostage via their control of an astonishing space age weapon. A band of four hunters stumbles in and must fight them with nothing but a bow and arrow and their wits.
    • 4/5
      John Hutchinson (aka Hutch) and his buddies want nothing more than to escape their less-than-successful lives by going camping in the middle of nowhere up North. After all, angry ex-wives, the unemployment statistic, and an overall depressing atmosphere can't reach them out in the woods, where even phones are hard to come by. But when Hutch is nearly vaporized by a group of madmen with a powerful toy, it's clear this wasn't the vacation they bargained for. When Hutch becomes the protector of a nine-year-old boy, he realizes it's up to him to save an entire town from sudden death.This book exceeded expectations. When I received word that the Hutch series would collide with Liparulo's other adult novels, the Immortal Files, I realized I was going to have to educate myself before his next installment.Liparulo, a favorite author of mine, really knows how to write a thriller. Somehow he manages to capture all his characters into this crazy life or death situation and the only way to outsmart the bad guys is through wizard genius, instinct, and a pretty rad supply of weapons. For this novel, our hero had bow and arrows. That alone was enough for me to pick up the book.One of my particularly favorite parts about this story was the relationship between Hutch and Dillon, the nine-year-old boy that fell under Hutch's responsibility. Divorced and the loser of a custody battle, Hutch longs to have his family whole again, to be a father again. So when Dillon looks to him for guidance, parenting and survival skills team up to become a pretty legit character. Call me sappy, but I love that kind of stuff.Okay, so I just like kids in action books in general, because Dillon isn't the only minor that tugged on my emotions. Julian, the young teenager enlisted to help Declan and his evil band of maniacs, clearly didn't fill out his volunteer card on his own. Despite his reservations to aid in Declan's criminal activities, the boy has little choice but to go along with it or face merciless wrath--an element that adds even more suspension to the already fast-paced thriller.Liparulo has always had a very engaging writing style, strengthened with a serious amount of research, this time heavy on the subject of bow hunting and Canadian backwoods. Though, I must find fault and offense on page 411--that he would refer to the hero Link as Zelda in one of his metaphors is just pagan madness.Regardless, Robert Liparulo's captivating storytelling has done its job once again through his well-crafted and realistic characters, artful writing style, impending villains, and genius heroism. It should be a movie. It needs to be a movie.In fact, Robert Liparulo should have his own cinematic universe.Things to Watch Out For:Romance: A character is divorced and discusses it with other charactersLanguage: "God help him" - 1 (p 383)Violence: Several characters are murdered in varying degrees of brutality. Characters are shot at. Loss of family members and friends. A boy is deliberately cut across the face in front of his mother.Drugs: NANudity: NAOther: Discussion of video game violence and its impact on the next generation. A character is strongly superstitious.
