Zeb Hanks is back in the saddle and ready to ride."Another great book in the Zeb Hanks series. They just keep getting better and better. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series." -- Reader "Entertaining read. True Apache flavor. Echoes of Hillerman." -- Reader Review from T. RogersAnother great book in the Zeb Hanks series. They just keep getting better and better. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series. Review from R.A. KraussIf you are a fan of Zeb Hanks books you will find this latest crime mystery an incredible read. I recommend it highly. The characters and the situations they find themselves in will stay with you long after you put the book(s) down. The whole series is a must read. Review from JMGGMEntertaining read. True Apache flavor. Echoes of Hillerman. Review from Jill P.Just finished Native Earth. Characters get stronger in each book in the Zeb series. This time, Shelley Hamlin has more prominence as a tech wizard who helps Zeb in ways that would be impossible without her special expertise. While I still miss Doreen, the recent addition of Echo as Zeb's love interest has opened up new possibilities for story lines, blending Zeb's instincts with Echo's razor-sharp military training. I haven't figured out yet how I feel about Black Bear's place in the bigger story scheme. I didn't trust him in Native Warrior (the previous book in the series), but the longer he's around the more I like him. Review from Linda W.Another great read by Mark Reps, full of twists and turns. Review from Patrick L.Reps' best effort yet! Can't wait for the next installment. I'm glad to see he's developing the character 'Shelly' the hacker. I'm sure we'll see more of her in future books. And we learn a little more about Echo in this book. I hope to see more of the depth of her character in the future. The pace quickens with each turn of the page in this suspense-filled episode of the Zeb Hanks series. It's a quick read which leaves the reader anxious for the next installment. Mark Reps has been a writer and storyteller his whole life. Born in small town southeastern Minnesota, he trained as a mathematician and chiropractor but never lost his love of telling or writing a good story. As an avid desert wilderness hiker Mark spends a great deal of time roaming the desert and other terrains of southeastern Arizona from December to May. A chance meeting with an old time colorful sheriff led him to develop the Zeb Hanks character and the world that surrounds him. Mark returns often to SE Arizona for inspiration, information and to maintain the general feel of the area, learn its history and understand the local residents. When Mark started writing he became pen pals with Tony Hillerman who offered up tips, criticism and ideas on some of his early novels. His books are often compared with the Longmire television series and books by Craig Johnson. Welcome to the series!
