Dodge Kingston has been gone from his family ranch for a long time, and probably wouldn't have returned now, except for the fact that his father is in the hospital. With an offer in the wings, a strained relationship with his father, and an unknown status with his high school sweetheart, adding in disaster after dangerous disaster, what will he choose for his future?
This was a fairly typical storyline for this author: lots of dangerous, life-or-death situations, a harsh environment, pasts that need dug up in order to move forward, and big decisions to be made. I really enjoyed the Alaskan component of the story; the terrain and character of the land played such a big part in shaping the story and the characters. The side characters, especially, were rooted in Alaskan culture and the lifestyle and gave a good picture of the wildness of the land.
The one issue I took with this story was that the relational drama of the main characters seemed to take precedence over what would have likely been forefront in their minds in reality. They seemed to care more about their romance than their friends and family in danger.
I give this book 3.5 stars: engaging, high action, good elements of faith, but too much unrealistic drama.
