This was outstanding.

Author Martin Cruz Smith is Native American allowing one of the few experiences of reading Native American characters in vintage genre fiction that isn't co-opting their beliefs.

As a result you get a very angry, well thought out book that really focuses on the plight of reservation life told through the lens of an animal attack novel.

The characters are all well thought out, with great arcs.

The animal attacks deliver in spades. There were many truly creepy scenes that will get under your skin. I'd be interested to see if the Hollywood adaptation managed to capture the vibrant life found in this book.

I was reading this in the park and I read into the onset of the night. As I put down the book and looked up I could see the bats roaming the skies. The perfect caper to one of the best animal attack books I've ever read.
