Those Who Wish Me Dead

Michael Koryta, Those Who Wish Me Dead (Little, Brown and Company, 2014)

Summary: A nonstop thriller featuring survivalists of all types. Witness meets No Country for Old Men, from the perspective of a Boy Scout troop.

Key Quote: "Saint Elmo's fire. The eerie light that had haunted sailors for centuries, scaling the masts of tall ships in empty oceans. Now, far inland, it crackled on the high rocks to their left, sparked upward in a cobalt cloud that climbed and then was snuffed out in blackness, overeager in its attempt to claim the sky." - p. 298

Bottom Line: Read this book if you want to transport your imagination into America's wilderness, chased by fire and firearms.
