Book Reviews
"Stampeding narrative urgency...A fierce morality tale."
- The New York Times
"Excellent pacing and credible characters...Pyper writes beautifully about the splendor and dangers of the wilderness. He doesn't anthropomorphize, but his understanding of bears and fire imbues both with a life force."
- Publisher's Weekly
"This novel's on fire...Andrew Pyper knows how to whirl a complex plot into motion...but exceeds the demands of the suspense-thriller genre. Pyper is aliterary craftsman who knows what he is doing at all times, a consummate professional who, judging from The Wildfire Season, proposes to burn for a very long time."
- The Globe and Mail
"* * * * [Four stars out of four]."
- Vrij Nederland (Holland)
"Wholly engaging and satisfying."
- NOW Magazine
"I bought this book thinking it was not a novel. It it a great read. The story line keeps you interested and you really feel for the characters. My husband is a wildland fire fighter so I know the terms used in the story. The ending is a total surprise."
- Review from Amazon.com
