Force of Nature (Joe Pickett #12) [J0126]

2012 - HCDJ Excellent condition. In 1995, Nate Romanowski was in a Special Forces unit abroad when his commander, John Nemecek, did something terrible. Now the high-ranking government official and cold-blooded sociopath is determined to eliminate anyone who knows about it-like Nate, who's hidden himself away in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains. And he knows exactly how Nemecek will do it-by targeting Nate's friends to draw him out. That includes his friend, game warden Joe Pickett, and Pickett's entire family. The only way to fight back is outside the law. Nate knows he can do it, but he isn't sure about his straight-arrow friend. And all their lives could depend on it.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "If you find the Nate Romanowski character interesting, this reveals much of his past. Plenty of action, baddies and lots of travelling about. As an action thriller, it's good."; "With the emphasis on mysterious Nate, this book has a slightly different flavor than previous in the series. Besides being an absorbing tale, I learned a bit about falconry, its practice and history. Can't get enough of these evolving characters. It's satisfying finding this quality of storytelling in a setting I know and love, the modern West."; "Amazing read. love the tie in between Joe and Nate to take down another bad dude."
