There's a misconception out there for novels needing to be 300+ pages to be enticing and well-written. This novel is evenly paced from beginning to end. There is no loitering around with endless literary fluff, Garcia's get down to business. They catch the essence of small town life by injecting the stereotypical people we all grow up with in our lives into the limelight. Once the story takes off, it literally covers a matter of days when the action starts. The authors capture the idea's of a ex-military veteran who wants a simple life with a family in a safe familiar place; a place where raising a family in a safe environment makes sense.

The ride takes shape differently as the main character learns fast, life doesn't always pan out the way we imagine. The story meshes fiction with realistic history of the Dzunukwa, the Kwakiutl legend. I always love when writers can combine historical and ancient folklore into a common day piece. It helps readers learn more about historical aspects of the story, while entertaining them to modern day role-play. In a nutshell, it paints Bigfoot into a more tangible light. They are not innocent, harmless or timid beings, but rather powerful creatures when provoked. I like the author's spin on how these Sasquatch work and the sheer power and veracity of their actions. The ending makes perfect sense when dealing with our governments and the efforts they exhume to cover up events they do not want the public to be aware of. Take a ride with this novel, because once you strap in; you won't want to put the book down until it is finished.
