Praise for Endangered "All the action and suspense of Box's long string of high-country adventures. Endangered is one of Joe's best."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Is there a crime-fiction family as fully fleshed out as Joe Pickett's? In singing the praises of Box's series, we often praise the plotting, pacing, and the down-to-earth hero's friendship with force-of-nature Nate Romanowski. But Pickett's supporting cast lends a continuity and grounding to this series that sets it apart from all the lone-wolf stuff out there. A carefully constructed plot building to a breathless, thrilling end."-- Booklist "Series fans will love this thriller. The nonstop action, intermingling plotlines, and the return of familiar characters all mesh into a breathless, roller-coaster ride of sheer suspense and entertainment."-- Library Journal "An edge-of-the-seat thriller. A tightly coiled plot that springs from surprise to surprise."-- South Florida Sun-Sentinel "Once again, Box delivers a winner. Grade: A."-- Cleveland Plain Dealer More Praise for the C. J. Box and the Joe Pickett novels "One of today's solid-gold, A-list, must-read writers."--Lee Child "Picking up a new C. J. Box thriller is like spending quality time with family you love and have missed...It's a rare thriller series that has characters grow and change. An exciting reading experience for both loyal fans as well as newcomers."--Associated Press "Box is a master."-- The Denver Post "Box knows what readers expect and delivers it with a flourish."-- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett strides in big boots over the ruggedly gorgeous landscape of C.J. Box's outdoor mysteries."-- The New York Times Book Review "Riveting...[A] skillfully crafted page-turner."-- People "Will keep you on the edge of your seat."-- The Philadelphia Enquirer, Praise for Stone Cold "[A] superlative outing . . . Box gets everything right: believably real characters, a vivid setting, clear prose and ratcheting tension. Maintaining these standards over 14 novels is more than impressive."- The Plain Dealer " Stone Col d features carefully crafted characters who live in the wilds of Wyoming, a setting that Box uses to great effect . . . Box creates a story with an unique premise and takes readers along for a suspenseful, action-filled ride."- The Denver Post "Box weaves vivid descriptions of Wyoming's landscape and the personal drama of Pickett's family into a blistering page-turner."- Arizona Republic "In C.J. Box's thrillers, [Wyoming] is a featured character and you get to know its thickly forested mountains, its windy plains and its frontierlike towns . . . [a] fun read."-Associated Press "Another exciting read from crime fiction's king of the great outdoors."- Madison County Herald "The author has proven that he can write good -- no, great books."- Wyoming Eagle Tribune "With each book, Box just gets better. Nonstop action, a twisty plot, and great characters make his latest a must-read for fans of this series."- Library Journal "This marks a welcome return to the thing Box does best: putting family man Joe in a dicey situation where, despite his orders to merely observe, his own moral code means he can't help but light the fuse and see where it leads. Being in unfamiliar territory is familiar territory for Pickett, and corrupt-town scenarios are as old as the hills, but Box uses the ploys for maximum suspense."- Booklist "Exhilarating . . . Canny Joe uses his wits, taking time to assess the literal and figurative lay of the land."- Publishers Weekly, Praise for Endangered "Is there a crime-fiction family as fully fleshed out as Joe Pickett's? ...Pickett's supporting cast-wife Marybeth and daughters Sheridan, Lucy, and April-lends a continuity and grounding to this series that sets it apart from all the lone-wolf stuff out there."- Booklist "All the action and suspense of Box's long string of high-country adventures....
