I do have to say Box can write and I have began seeing these as between read snacks, well dried beef perhaps considering the setting of the novels. In this one Joe gets pulled into a dispute between sovereign citizen group (yes those free citizen you run into more and more) and crooked government officials. Or are they crooked or just misinformed?

Also we again get to see Pickett's family more and I do hope this line continues in his books because Box is setting them into the storylines so well: few bits and pieces at a time. And when an awful crime happens against the family we are left to want even more of this family's storyline.

Oh, and there is this new mystery falcon guy called Nate. Sure sometimes we go overboard with the action and happenings but it does not bother me as a reader too much.
