Synopsis:

Track of Courage by Susan May Warren

CALL OF THE WILD

 

A hijacked plane. A pursuing killer. And a K9's instinct to help them make it out alive.

Pop singer Keely Williams's search for her biological mother in Alaska has been painfully unsuccessful. Now she just wants to escape this wild frontier and never look back. But when her plane is hijacked, she's suddenly plunged into a race against not only an Alaskan blizzard but also a killer who's on her tail.

After a career-ending injury, ex-cop Dawson Mulligan has only one friend--Caspian, the stray dog he adopted. Dawson just wants to figure out how to get his life on track, but during a flight home to Copper Mountain, he spots a downed plane and stops to help. Except, when his not-a-rescue dog runs off into the woods and discovers the trail of a missing survivor, it's up to the former cop to stage a rescue.

But Dawson has no idea he's being pulled into a deadly pursuit, or that Caspian is more than he seems. There might be redemption and second chances waiting for both Dawson and Keely if they have the courage to face their wounded pasts and fight for their future.

Join master storyteller Susan May Warren for a propulsive ride through the Alaskan wilderness, where love might be the riskiest--and most rewarding--adventure of all.

Prepare to experience edge-of-your-seat action combined with heart-stirring romance and heroic K9 companions in this exhilarating romantic suspense that will thrill fans of Lynette Eason and Elizabeth Goddard.

My Review:

When I started this novel, it felt like it was not the first in the series. Dawson has had recent damage to his knee, for example. While this is a new series, it builds on the characters from the Alaska Air One Rescue series. Faithful readers of Warren can just move on with known characters but new readers may be puzzled by characters having had previous, unknown adventures with ramifications here.

This novel is an inspirational romantic suspense with emphasis on the romance. Two people from different worlds are thrown together and romance is possible but the path is full of misunderstandings and obstacles. There is a very strong Christian faith message in this novel. Warren explores the themes of PTS and adoption (and giving a child up for adoption). There is also great support from Caspian, a wonderful canine.

The setting of Alaska is good. Dawson and Keely must struggle through tough weather elements while also staying away from bad guys. That means there is lots of suspense too. It was very interesting to read about a self contained community thriving in the frigid wilderness.

This is a touching novel and a good addition to the ones Warren has previously set in Alaska.

 My rating: 4/5 stars.
