“Lions and tigers in a conifer canopied mountain forest, trouble lurking around every corner, an intuitive fish and game cop and a fast-paced plot that twists from one suspenseful surprise to the next.

“Poaching big game … Check A loveable yellow Lab … Double Check Computer hackers from India … WHAT! That last item is the big checklist twist in outdoor writer Rob Phillips’ latest novel, “Cascade Kidnapping,” the fourth in his Luke McCain series. As in all of Phillips’ books, “Cascade Kidnapping” reinforces healthy respect for the outdoors and laws that protect it. Conversational narrative writing as well as the Cascade Mountains’ sense of place reward readers. Recurring characters – especially that Lab, Jack -- anchor each book. Each of the books in this series have subplots. The elk poaching subplot in “Cascade Kidnapping” is the strongest of all. It was icing on the cake for this satisfying book. ”

“Cascade Manhunt is the fifth book of Author Rob Phillips’ Luke McCain series, and I believe it to be his best work.   The book follows Washington Game Warden Luke McCain as he works undercover to apprehend a group of hard-core poachers.  Next, Warden McCain worked feverishly to hunt down a fugitive wanted in several states.  As a retired Washington undercover fish and wildlife detective, I found Rob’s book to be spot-on.  I simply couldn’t put this book down.  Finishing Cascade Manhunt in one day left me thirsting for Rob’s next book. ”

"Fast-paced and engaging, Trapped in the Cascades converges three separate storylines, each ripe with malicious intent and life-threatening repercussions. These are woven into a nail-biting finale with Luke Mc Cain and his faithful companion, Jack, fighting off dangerous weather conditions and the ticking timer towards death if they are unsuccessful. A Five star read!"

“Rob Phillips continues his Luke McCain novel series with Cascade Renegades – a masterful production of a real-world scenario in a real-time setting presented with stunning accuracy.  It’s easy to forget that you’re reading a novel between the varied situations that Game Warden Luke McCain finds himself in daily, and the common threads that tie the myriad characters and storylines together around the central theme of poaching Endangered Species Act-protected gray wolves. In Cascade Renegades, Rob immerses the reader not only in the scene but also in the minds of Luke McCain and the wolf poachers. The emotional relevance and intelligence of both the criminal and the law enforcement officer make this book a binge-worthy read.”

I’ve been a huge fan of the Luke McCain series since the first book. Cascade Witness is no different.  Rob does a brilliant job of transporting the reader to the places he knows in his home-state of Washington.  From the streets of Seattle to the backwoods of the Cascades, Rob wraps intrigue, gripping storylines and memorable characters into this thriller that brings Luke McCain and his wife Sara together to solve another riveting mystery.  

 Homelessness and the Pacific Northwest backwoods collide in the main storyline but as is always the case in this series…there’s more! Once again, Rob got me.  I started reading and couldn’t stop. Cascade Witness is an intelligent, non-stop romp from beginning-to-end that captures the majesty of the Northwest outdoors and winds the reader through riveting twists and turns right up to the last sentence.
