BATTLE MOUNTAIN by C.J. Box (G. Putnam’s Sons, February 25, 2025) Joe Pickett novel #25. Hardcover, 351 pages.
Synopsis on the Goodreads website . . . . .
Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is back in this riveting new thriller from #1 New York Times bestseller C.J. Box.
My Four-Star Review on the Goodreads website . . . . .
I’ve only read a handful of C.J. Box's Joe Pickett novels, but this new one is the best so far.
Fast paced, engaging, good characterization. In fact, while Joe Pickett has an important role to play in the proceedings, this novel features more of falconers Nate Romanowski and Geronimo Jones.
It seems the mountainous country of Wyoming and Colorado is a magnet for in-state terrorist and militant groups. This one goes a little deeper, as there is a connection between the lead conspirator Alex Soledad, Nate Romanowksi, and Joe Pickett - - with a score to settle.
Enjoy this for what it is. Adventurous escapism. Just forget about the varying point-of-view and politics of some of the characters and go along for the ride.
