A Fun-House Ride!

If you thought the canoe trip in DELIVERANCE was a fun-house ride, wait til you take this one. On their way down the wild Firesteel River in northern Wisconsin, this novel's protagonists encounter huge trout, ferocious rapids, a ravenous black bear, a trio of Dillinger-era bank robbers on the lam, a pair of delectable college girls, a giant, fish-eating salamander, two snooty business tycoons, and as much slam-bang action as a Special Ops firefight in Afghanistan. There's never a dull moment on THE RUN TO GITCHE GUMEE, an evocatively-written, cleverly-plotted book that (to paraphrase Dickens) contains more excitement than nine monkeys with their tails tied together. This is a must-read book for any outdoor action aficionado.
