Unflappable

Written by Suzie Gilbert

Narrated by Kurt Rhoads and Nance Williamson

Luna Burke and Ned Harrelson are on the run.

Licensed to care for injured and orphaned wildlife, Luna is determined to smuggle a homicidal Bald Eagle out of her husband’s private zoo in Florida, reunite the bird with its mate, and get them both to an eagle sanctuary in Canada. Hot on her trail is her furious husband, his bodyguards, the police, conservation officials, and an expert government tracker; aiding and abetting her is a smitten young tech guy, a lethal Navy SEAL turned panther advocate, and an underground railroad of wildlife rescuers intent on protecting one of their own. Waiting in Ontario is a legendary old eco-warrior more than willing to provide refuge…as long as Luna can make it across the border. "Unflappable' is a comic suspense story, an epic road trip, and a page-turning adventure with a big cast of unconventional characters, both human and not.
