This is yet another of those "I couldn't put it down" books. Reuben Bourne is a reporter who has written a negative article about a white supremacist group that results in dire consequences to him and his family from the group. The story is a bit unrealistic. Imagine such a group with the resources and money spending a lot of time hunting down Bourne & family. But this book is a thriller, not a fantasy so I found it best to accept it on that basis, overlooking the unbelievable premise of the book. Bourne and his family are forced to escape into the mountains where Bourne uses his resourcefulness to temporarily elude the supremacists. Though violent and a bit bleak, I recommend this book for a few entertaining, thrill filled hours.
