But all readers will discover great insights into the complexities of beautiful Yellowstone, and managing the grizzly in a pristine world where the real beasts are two-legged; and where the bears take on personalities of their own. Guenther's trilogy is a touchstone against which the list of novels about Vietnam should be judged, and ranks with the best works of that different, difficult war."  <b>Bob Fischer</b>, Colonel USMC (Ret.), former advisor to the Vietnamese Marine Corps, Lecturer on Strategy and Tactics of the Insurgent, Naval War College. <Br><br> "Dan Guenther has written an adventure of both body and spirit played out against the rugged beauty of Yellowstone, a man confronting a past that will not let him rest.
