Reviews
Slickrock ""is sure to please and impossible to put down. Very highly recommended."" - Readers' Favorite ""Take a desert hermit to rival Hiaasen's brilliantly eccentric Skink, throw in a dash of Hillerman's reverence for Native American cultures, and pour a stiff shot of Cussler. Shake vigorously until the mixture explodes into another mind-blowing A.W. Baldwin adventure. This guy just keeps getting better!"" - Jeff Edwards, Bestselling Author of Steel Wind and Darwin's Razor. ""Slickrock is action married to ethics, justice tempered with wonder. Loved it!"" - Award winning author Sarah Blanchard (Drawn from Life, Grabtown) ""Slickrock by A.W. Baldwin is a genuinely suspenseful story of survival and resourcefulness, set in the ruggedly stark beauty of the canyonlands. Malia awakens trapped in a trailer, and her journey alongside Relic takes us all across robust cliffs, narrow arroyos, and sun-bleached plateaus that the author depicts in almost cinematic detail. What actually happens is that the landscape becomes a character of its own, with starlit ridges and hidden creeks that totally shape the events and test everyone involved. There is very little downtime in the action, and in a testament to their skill as a writer, Baldwin mixes daring escapes and maneuvers in tandem with quieter interactions that lean into the necessity of trust, skill, and the human instinct to adapt. There is a brilliant plot boiled into the story with a fantastic climax, and overall, this is a book that is sure to please and impossible to put down. Very highly recommended."" - Readers' Favorite
