If you're in the mood for a slightly unconventional thriller where rugged individuals with exceptional outdoor skills struggle against the odds to outwit the bad guys, some of whom may be working for government agencies, then 'Pursuit'may be just what you're looking for.

'Pursuit' is Indy Quillen's second thriller about Fox Walker, a Native American with extraordinary tracking skills. It happens six months after the end of the first novel,  'Tracker'.

'Pursuit' gave me not one but three rugged individuals who are good in the outdoors: an ex-Navy SEAL on the run, Fox who is called in by the FBI to pursue the SEAL but who begins to feel that he's hunting a man who doesn't deserve to be hunted, and Nataya, Fox's partner, who also knows how to live off the land and who, at the start of the novel is supposed to stay home out of harm's way but clearly isn't going to.

I settled down with it, expecting to spend a few hours reading and ended up finishing the whole thing in a day so that I could see how everything worked out.

Although most of this story is a detailed and very credible description of Fox's pursuit of the ex-Navy SEAL through the mountains, a lot of the tension comes from cross-cutting this with events elsewhere focused on figuring out what the FBI's agenda is and who really killed the woman the ex-Navy SEAL was convicted of killing. Both paths through the story have lots of threats and periods of intense, violent action and the overall resolution is quite satisfying.

This is an engaging thriller that gets its edge from the easy-to-believe-in descriptions of the tracking and survival skills that Fox and Nataya and the ex-Navy SEAL all have and by the way in which Indy Quillen highlights the different world views that drive how these skills are used.

Every now and again, I like a thriller where rugged individuals with exceptional outdoor skills struggle against the odds to outwit the bad guys, especially when some of the bad guys are working for government agencies.

In 'Pursuit'. I have three rigged individuals: an ex-navy SEAL on the run, Fox Walker, an exceptional Ute tracker called in to pursue the SEAL, and Fox Walker's companion who is supposed to stay home out of harm's way but clearly isn't going to. The FBI seems to be being lined up in the role of bad guys, so that's credible enough, although why any Native American would work for the FBI is beyond me. 

So, I'm escaping into the mountains in Colorado and waiting to see if the three rugged individuals will find a way to work together to bring down 'The Man'.

I never in my wildest dreams thought I would DNF a Heinlein.  But I just could not get into this one.  Maybe there was a reason he didn't publish it?  Change of or lack of editor?  My age?

For whatever reason, it just seemed kind of phoned into me.  No actual tension, couldn't catch a good thread of story, actively disliked some characters and found others cardboard.

Maybe I didn't read far enough or give it enough of a chance -- but this is Heinlein and should catch me up right away.  Maybe he really hadn't finished enough of it for this to be published? 

That will teach me to get so excited I preorder something hardcover sight unseen.

Just as I was about to resort to actually doing dishes or labeling more stuff (don't ask) -- UPS driver came with a wonderful care package.

Been forever since I read a new Heinlein.  Bought this one hardcover although usually do ebooks.
