Storm Watch

Written by C.J. Box

Narrated by David Chandler

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett investigates a mysterious death at a secret, remote high-tech facility in this riveting new novel from #1 New York Timesbestselling author C. J. Box.

While tracking a wounded elk in the midst of an epic Rocky Mountain spring snowstorm, Joe Pickett makes a startling and gruesome discovery: the frozen and mutilated body of a man who has obviously trespassed on a private ranch and was killed near the location of a mysterious high-tech structure. Joe
also finds the man’s vehicle on an isolated mountainside—the victim’s ID indicates that he is a prominent University of Wyoming professor. When Joe attempts to learn more, his investigation is obstructed by federal agents, extremists, and Governor Colter Allen.

Nate Romanowski is rebuilding his falconry company—and financing this through crypto mining with the assistance of Geronimo Jones. Nate is then approached by a shadowy group of local militant activists that is gaining in power and influence, and demanding that Wyoming join other western states and secede
from the union—by force, if necessary. They ask Nate to throw in with them, but he’s wary.

Should he trust them, or is he being set up?

As a storm of peril gathers around them, Joe and Nate confront it in different ways—and maybe, for the first time, on opposite sides.

Reviews for Storm Watch

[lewilliams-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I've always looked forward to a Joe Pickett novel from C J Box This plot has to much politics in the plot for my taste. The one good thing going for Storm Watch is Nate Romanowski and Geronimo Jones have Joes back when things begin to turn south. I'm hoping Box returns to the earlier story lines that made the Pickett novels such a success.

Bad guys are everywhere of every possible ilk, including spies. Joe needs a formidable posse of good guys; which are fortunately available. Timely, brisk, and interesting, as always.

The newest book, number 23, in the Joe Pickett series. And, once again, it held my interest past my bedtime! I love these characters! Joe and his wife Mary Beth are empty nestersnow and oldest daughter, Sheridan plays more of a role in this installment. Joe finds a body stuffed into a bit coin farming building during a snowstorm. It gets ugly fast and thank goodness we have his friends, Nate Romanowski and Geronimo Jones to watch his back! Always recommended!
