Synopsis

Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett must guide a Silicon Valley CEO on a hunting trip—but soon learns that he himself may be the hunted—in the thrilling new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author C. J. Box.

When the governor of Wyoming gives Joe Pickett the thankless task of taking a tech baron on an elk hunting trip, Joe reluctantly treks into the wilderness with his high-profile charge. But as they venture into the woods, a manhunter is hot on
their heels, driven by a desire for revenge. Finding himself without a weapon, a horse, or a way to communicate, Joe must rely on his wits and his knowledge of the outdoors to protect himself and his companion.

Meanwhile, Joe’s closest friend, Nate Romanowski, and his own daughter Sheridan learn of the threat to Joe’s life and follow him into the woods. In a stunning final showdown, the three of them come up against the worst that nature—and man—have to offer.

Dark Sky is book 21 in the Joe Pickett series and this is definitely one of my favourite series.

I normally really like this series, but this one left me unimpressed and somewhat annoyed. I've always felt that the author did a great job of keeping an open mind as far as politics in the story goes, but the sociopathic "antifa" poacher nonsense was absolutely ridiculous. Come up with an actual be......more

C.J. Box, I firmly believe, is not capable of writing a bad novel. But in the last few years I've begun to suspect that he's all too capable of writing an uninspired above-average novel, and DARK SKY, while above average in almost all respects compared to other entires in the Joe Pickett series and......more
