A routine bear hunt becomes a fight for survival.
North Carolina State Trooper Cole Boone knows the blackwater swamps better than almost anyone. Alongside his loyal Plott Hounds, he enters the wilderness on a legal bear hunt, expecting another challenging day in one of America's most unforgiving landscapes.
Instead, his dogs uncover something far more dangerous than any bear-a crashed drone carrying evidence of a sophisticated illegal operation hidden deep within the swamp.
Within moments, the hunter becomes the hunted.
Cut off from help, miles from the nearest road, and pursued by armed men determined to recover the evidence at any cost, Cole must rely on his training, his instincts, and the loyalty of his dogs to survive. Every flooded slough, cypress stand, and patch of waist-deep blackwater becomes part of a deadly game where one wrong decision could be his last.
As dawn approaches, only one thing is certain:
To make it out alive, he'll have to fight with the weapon that brought him there.
Perfect for fans of outdoor survival thrillers, wilderness adventures, and fast-paced suspense, Blackwater Spear is a gripping standalone novella in Keith Barton's Travel Reads(TM) series-short enough to finish in an afternoon, yet memorable long after the final page.
