Off the Grid (Joe Pickett, Bk 16)

Nate is back and gets hired to find a fellow falconer who may or may not be a terrorist, Joe gets hired to find Nate for no good reason, Joe's daughter happens to end up in the middle of a terrorist scheme that made no sense whatsoever; and that the whole story was littered with inconsistencies not only in the time line didn't help the meager plot at all.
The 2 stars are for the 15 pages about Joe hunting a rogue grizzly bear - this is what I expect Joe Pickett books to be about - crimes in the outdoors and nature.
This book felt forced and like a bad comic strip (oh Sheridan, you were so right!) all the way through. Not a recommended read. I do, however, recommend everything else CJ Box has written in the past, some more, some less, but none as horrible as this book. If this would have been the first book I read by this author I would never touch another one of him again. I can not emphasize it enough: his other books are in average worth 4.5 star ratings if one likes this genre.
