"“Four friends, beautiful scenery,
and a high tech satellite weapon
in the hands of indulgent, maniacal teenagers.”
In “Comes a Horseman“, I was intrigued. In “Germ“, I was astonished. In “Deadfall (A John Hutchinson Novel)“, I am hooked. Robert Liparulo has become one of my favorite authors.
All three Liparulo’s novels have the key elements that make for a fine suspense thriller; thorough research, educating the reader as well as entertaining them; descriptive and engaging scenery as well as character dialogue; and a mind tripping plot.
In this novel, four friends arrive in Canada on a hunting trip. On route to the isolated area in Canada, all four men, save one, discuss their personal and professional problems and express their hope that this trip will be just what they need.
They no sooner arrive when they stumble upon a spoiled billionaire teenager and his band of misfits bent on capturing footage for a new video game. This group of teenagers know little and care less about the people in the nearby town of Fiddler Falls. Declan Page, their leader, is set on gathering real-life blood and gore footage to use in the new video game.
After capturing the town and killing two townspeople using a hightech GPS tracking system combined with a prototype military defense weapon called SLC, the militant teenagers discover John Hutchinson (Hutch) out hunting.
The race is on from this point and what follows is not stop action, a survival story at its best. Hutch and his friends, save one, head toward Fiddler Falls in hopes of finding help.
They find no help.
The townspeople are being held hostage and all resources either disabled or destroyed.They stumble upon the sheriff’s wife (now a widow) and her son as they attempt to escape as well. The small group is quickly separated when Declan and his group return.
The story develops on to a wonderfully enjoyable suspense thriller. I especially enjoyed the thought processes of all the characters. The part of the evil Declan and his bumbling gun-loosing girlfriend had me wondering how Declan ever swayed the others on his team to follow him. Then again, the Bible records the answer- “money answereth all things“.
I have no doubt that you will enjoy this book. I am certainly looking forward to reading the sequel “Deadlock“.

"Really, the best part of this book is the "Charlie's Angels" posing on the cover. The good guys are good, the bad guys are as murderously evil as the first 40 pages are murderously tedious.
And, nit-picking a bit, the back cover specifies the lads are to be dropped "deep in the isolated Northwest Territories" but instead go to northern Saskatchewan. Sad.
I thought this was going to be a great read to recommend to co-workers as we all get "dropped by helicopter into the remote Canadian wilderness" but no, this is mediocre action-adventure fiction.
I did find myself liking a few of the characters, although the pyscho-mean ex-wife is a cardboard cliche."
"Absolutely loved this book. The main character is such a realistic guy: genuine, caring, honest, troubled, sacrificial. Hutch. A beautiful piece of literature. The villians completely unique and believable."
