Why read it?
1 author picked Wilderness as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While I love Parker’s Spenser series, I love the stronger emotional payoff I often get more of in stand-alone books, which this book is. Plus, Parker brings some of his humor to the table. (To me it’s a very rare book that can’t carry some humor along with life-and-death stakes.)

From John's list on once-in-a-lifetime danger.
