Warden Force #4
Warden Force: Cold, Cold Hearts and Other True Game Warden Adventures: Episodes 39-49
This is not a novel. This book, like the other eight books of the WARDEN FORCE series, is a collection of short stories, all true, the fascinating and often harrowing experiences of real game wardens pursuing armed violators in wild and remote places. TV shows such as JOE PICKETT (Spectrum/Paramount+), WILD JUSTICE (National Geographic), NORTH WOODS LAW (Animal Planet) and LONE STAR LAW (Animal Planet) introduced the public to the real-life adventures of game wardens and conservation officers, a public hungry for more. And now, for readers, the WARDEN FORCE series provides the most exhaustive and comprehensive work in literature on this little known and often dangerous profession.Award winning author Terry Hodges was himself a California State Fish and Game warden and supervisor/leader of game wardens for over 30 intense years. He writes with the authority possible only by those who have actually lived the life, who have actually packed a badge and a gun on behalf of wildlife and battled all manner of wildlife-destroying outlaws.

Thrilling, Action Packed Chapter
This was another exciting, action packed chapter of the Warden Force series. The bad guys get bolder and the Wardens step up to outsmart them. Narrow misses, close calls and more await in the ongoing saga to protect our wildlife. This series is highly addicting. A thrilling read.
Update! The audiobook version is finally out. A perfect companion to the book wonderfully narrated by Patrick Hinchcliff.
