About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Battle Mountain by C.J. Box, read by David Chandler.

Can Joe Pickett stop an old friend throwing his life away in order to gain revenge? The gripping new novel from #1 New York Times bestseller C.J. Box.

The campaign of hate and vengeance that a pair of violent criminals wreaked on Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett and his friend, falconer Nate Romanowski, left both men in tatters, but it was Nate who came closest to losing everything.

Facing his lowest ebb, Nate decided the only option was to drop out of society. Taking only his birds, he went off-grid to rediscover his true self… and prepare for his own revenge.

When Joe is called on to help the governor, whose son-in-law is missing in the Sierra Madre mountains, the investigation takes a darker turn when Joe and Nate’s very different journeys unexpectedly converge.

All will come to a head at Battle Mountain, but in a struggle neither of them would ever have seen coming, can both Joe and Nate survive?

Expectations from C J Box are very high. The five stars for 'overall' are for the series and the performer.
I have loved and had pleasure re-reading and listening to the Joe Pickett novels.
Sadly this one used old themes, lacked pace and had far too little of lovely Joe in it. The story was poor and totally unbelievable -- but at this point in history perhaps not.
