Skillfully blending sci-fi, adventure, and mystery, the author keeps suspense high, revealing truths gradually, with well-crafted characters enhancing the narrative, including the intriguing Sadie and the mysterious environmental activist Glen Power Claw. Congrats on BOTD.

This book combines mystery with environmental issues, mainly pollution. It's definitely not what I expected from the cover, but it seems like a book worth reading.

It is a well-written book that depicts and tells us about our environment and how to manage environmental pollution. The writer did well to talk more about the past and things we should expect in future if we don't take care of our environment. This will definitely make you think about your future priorities..
Its a good pick and anyone wont regret reading this, cause it's actually an eye opener for one to get to know his environment..

How fitting that a sci-fi novel has brought a fictional tale to the table to show the reality of what is happening to our wonderful planet. There may be plenty of lessons to learn in this novel. Thanks for the review!

An adventure-mystery thriller mixed with environmental awareness theme is more than just a captivating tale. This is indeed an entertaining read with impactful message to save our planet. I'm eager to know how the beast is connected to the problems of chemical pollutans in this small town. I would love to read this book and find out. Great review!

"Pollution is a serious issue that everyone has encountered in some form. I agree with you on the importance of environmental protection. it's essential for combating climate change and reducing pollution. In Dennis Lorenz’s book, the main character, Dr. John Bucannon decides to tackle this issue. A detective of sorts who aims to resolve environmental issues. I applaud the book's emphasis on environmental consciousness. Showing us the potential future if we fail to mitigate environmental damage.
We all play a role in protecting the environment, whether it's through small everyday actions or advocating for sustainable practices. Let's do our part to make a positive impact!

Northern umbrage seems like a really interesting book, it is equally really unique in the fact that it focuses on our environment, which is not really common. It would be nice to read it someday, it's w nice review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting mystery story following a doctor detective that is investigating environmental problems but finds out that he might be facing a wolf like creature that is terrorizing a small community that is suffering from a problem with its local fisheries. It might be worth a second look. Well Done.

The contrast between how people are so intentional about their physical awareness than they are about environmental awareness is a large one. Big congrats to the author for this wonderful piece.

Environmental issues are undoubtedly very important and of course I am a bit curious about the Beast and what the story behind this animal is. Other than that, this book might not be for me. Thank you for the interesting review!

This is definitely going to be an amazing read. The way the author introduced the characters of Buc,was in such a genius way. With the twins at risk of loosing their lives, one would assume that this great piece of writing would be about them.Buc, the unlikely hero, is so well introduced that you cannot help but feel already feel an emotional tie to him.

The brilliant merging of timelines is spectacular. We get to see the rescue, the risk Buc faces from a certain poison, then a description of what happened during the rescue; which we all wanted to find out what happened. As the poison courses through our hero's body, the reader is left holding their breath for Buc's recovery.

It is suspenseful, well written, the character development is exceptional as well as the descriptive and twists are simply to captivating to let go of.

It became a bit confusing when it stated Maude came out yet all through it's spelled as Maud. It had me wondering whether this was a spelling error or a different character.

All in all, breathtaking.

Buc is an environmental pathologist trying to solve why certain environmental events are happening. However, he is also shown to be a hero because in the opening chapter by saving two teenage girls from drowning in a riptide area.

The combination of action, mystery, and science fiction gave a new spin on environmental stories. It raises awareness about chemical pollution and bodies of water.
