Toboggan, is the fourth book in the Janitors Series, following Baghdad Butcher, Back To Iraq, and Dog Pound. Once again, Jim Scott and the Janitors are on vacation, except for another cameo appearance, which is a continuation of their mission in Dog Pound. In this book, we have a return of Dan and Janet Orf, as well as their friend Mark Yomo. Dan and Janet investigate a plane crash in the Rocky Mountains, while Mark attempts to track down two criminals in the area of the crash.
In this book, a number of the new characters introduced play roles in later books of the series...with two becoming Janitors for one mission in the eighth book, Devil's Brew. Also, during the Janitor's appearance, the C-130 plane crew from Back To Iraq is fleshed out, and most of them stay with the team from the sixth book, Saltwater Connection, thru the ninth and final book of the series, Sedona Chip.
This book is part survival story, part investigation, and with a bit of the Janitors. The Orfs investigate on two fronts, while a young, newly formed, couple fight the extremes of a late spring blizzard in the Rockies. While that couple heads down the mountain, they find themselves on a collision course with a pair of escaped criminals headed up the same mountain in an effort to avoid re-capture by the authorities.
While all this is going on, the idiot author had to stop typing on several occasions because laughter made it impossible to go on without a break. While not a comedy, I hope the readers find those sections as funny as I did...though I'm sure the higher muckety-mucks in Iran and the leadership of al-Qaida will find it less funny.
