Summary: The only novels I've read more than once
Comment: I've been vacationing in Northern Minnesota for 17 years. I've spent time in the eastern Iron Range and Quetico/Superior wilderness. Krueger creates characters that you'll love. From the Grain Belt beer to the Duluth packs, he does a great job of capturing the lifestyle and spirit of this region in Boundary Waters and its predecessor, Iron Lake. However, what's with a black bear (or any bear) standing up on its hind legs in a show of aggression? My favorite novels anyway.

Summary: Fascinating Trip to the North Woods
Comment: This is my first outing with Mr. Krueger. Somehow I missed his acclaimed "Iron Lake," and I intend to correct that as soon as possible. This is a fine story with the added bonus of magnificent descriptions of the great forests and lakes between the borders of Minnesota and Canada. An added plus is the author's obvious expertise as a hunter, tracker and outdoorsman.
The heroes of this story are the Ojibwe Native Americans. They are known for their story telling abilities, and Mr. Krueger shares a few fascinating tales. The Ojibwe characters are not stereotypical (though maybe a mite noble) and are carefully drawn. The lead character, Cork O'Connor, is a troubled, but satisfyingly invincible man. I particularly liked the characterization of a professional hit man, a stone killer.
Shiloh, a celebrity country singer, is missing after a month's stay in a secret and remote part of the wilderness called the Boundary Waters. The search parties are not all benign and want to ensure that Shiloh stays missing permanently. The hunt is fast, furious and not for the faint hearted. The casualty rate is high and the painful injuries are many. Meanwhile, Shiloh is doing her own level best to get to civilization in one piece. The wait on the home front is agonizing as the body count rises.
Mr. Krueger delivers a hard-hitting, fast paced novel without sacrificing some lyrical prose. Recommended.

Summary: Boundary Waters
Comment: A highly recommended read. Kruege does it again, keeps you guessing until the final pages. I can't wait for the next Cork O'Connor book.
