Although this is the tenth book in the series, I think it is my favorite so far. Joe is just coming off a years banishment in Baggs, WY. There is just one more thing he needs to check...a series of mysterious happenings in the mountains. Some people think it is caused by a Wendigo, an old Indian legend. And what about the runner who disappeared two years ago? What he encounters are the Grim Brothers, a pair of twins on the run from MI, who escaped from a protection program. And they have no intentions of going home. As Joe finds out when he is attacked, wounded by gunshot and shot with an arrow. Can Joe, with help from his friend Nate survive a second attempt to find them?


Thunder Dog: A Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero
Review Date: 7/23/2012
Helpful Score: 2


I felt cheated when I read this book. I expected the story to be about the dog. Instead, it was filled with past stories of the man's life, and alot of name dropping. Out of all the pages, maybe 20 of them were devoted to what I considered the true story...time spent in the Twin Towers after the attack.
