A DEADLY RACE AGAINST TIME ACROSS THE VAST ALASKAN WILDERNESS An overworked detective, a dedicated game warden, and a veteran bush pilot team up in this epic saga as big as Alaska itself. A child is snatched from the Anchorage bus station. Clues developed during the search suggest she's being held by a pedophile and his ex-con buddy, and that they are hatching a plot to blow up the trans-Alaska pipeline. Then Detective Gomez learns that the pedophile murdered his last victim. The race is on to save the child before the killer tires of her and to prevent a monumental environmental disaster in the heart of Alaska's sweeping wilderness. COMMENTS FROM READERS "A real page-turner."-Ken Marsh, Public Information Officer, Alaska Department of Fish & Game. "A good read."-Larry Bottjen, videographer and retired Alaska educator. "I ripped through this book in two days while at my resort, reading it from cover to cover on a holiday weekend."-Gale Kaas, publisher, "Frazee (Minnesota) Forum", a weekly community newspaper. "The helicopter rescue...absolutely the best flying story I have ever read." -James Cavin, retired Alaska Fish and Wildlife Trooper. "I couldn't put it down, it so thoroughly held my attention and kept me on the edge of my seat."-Paul Schlienz, Managing Editor, "Washington Restaurant Magazine."
Pipeline is brilliant; one of the best works I've read in a long time. It's fiction that reads like a documentary, and that's because it is. It's not just a well-paced action story, the detail brings the characters and Alaska to life. Because it's so well-written, readers don't know what will/won't happen to one of the main characters until it does. Because of my personal history with small plane medical rescues and brave and bold pilots I can validate that Ron wrote truth in fiction.
