Reviews
The story of Mr. Ricketts' life moves through the pages like a prize fight, with left hooks and uppercuts coming at you from all directions. It's a West Coast frontier sparring match you won't soon forget. -Reg Sherren, author of That Wasn't the Plan Whether narrowly avoiding being blown up or crushed by a tree, going hunting with a broken jaw and nose, or punching out a Hells Angel, you can call Kelly Ricketts reckless, but you'll never accuse him of being boring. -Randy Nelson, author of Poachers, Polluters and Politics
Finally, someone with the guts to share some of the really crazy things he did throughout his life. Whether narrowly avoiding being blown up or crushed by a tree, going hunting with a broken jaw and nose, or punching out a Hell's Angel, you can call Kelly Ricketts reckless, but you'll never accuse him of being boring. One Inch from Disaster is both a cautionary tale and a lively read, told as fearlessly as you'd expect from a narrator who operated his first bulldozer at age six.--Randy Nelson, author of Poachers, Polluters and Politics: A Fishery Officer's Career The story of Mr. Rickett's life moves through the pages like a prize fight, with left hooks and uppercuts coming at you from all directions. It's a west coast frontier sparring match you won't soon forget. --Reg Sherren, author of That Wasn't the Plan: a Memoir
