After a small detour in the last book, Box goes back to evil government forces trying to stick it to the hard-working little guy. It's certainly action-packed and I loved the description of the terrain during the chase, but this time around too much of it is just flat-out unbelievable. An EPA dude having access to a drone with Hellfire missles? Yeah...no. The fire built up a lot of tension but having seen how fast those things move, Box had Joe and crew way too close to it for survival. I thought Nate's appearance at the end was unnecessary, as though Box felt he had to check that square. Not my favorite in the series, but still read it through in one sitting, and I did not see the ending coming so that was an interesting surprise. Did laugh at the end, Joe gets his lower-number badge back, but then quits his job - can't blame him.
