Looking for a great nonfiction book? You will definitely enjoy this if you liked Into the Wild, Grizzly Man, Between a Rock and A Hard Place or any of the other popular adventure/outdoor nonfiction accounts. This book examines the events surrounding the disappearance of an expert Kings-Canyon/Sequoia backcountry ranger. Was he suicidal? Was he a victim of a homicide? Weather and nature? Or did he just want to escape to Mexico? The book is part mystery, part investigative journalism, part love letter to the Sierras with plenty of fascinating tidbits about working as a backcountry ranger and doing search and rescue work thrown in for good measure. I’d highly recommend this title for any of us that venture out into the wilderness; as this story reminds us, you can never be too careful…and as Ranger Randy would have said, “Slow down out there and enjoy it!”
