His father taught him how to track, how to think outside the box, how to be aware of his surroundings, and how to handle himself when trouble comes. Colter finds people for a living now and when he's hired by a distressed father to find his daughter, the young tracker finds himself in over his head amidst the world of video games and gamers.

How do I rate my books? These slides are to help with that. They are also subject to change as I figure out more of what I want this page to be.
