Prey - Hardcover

As the story begins, Henry is up in Anchorage, Alaska, working undercover (out of his jurisdiction, naturally) in order to track down the leader of a malicious biker gang who assaulted his partner. Unbeknownst to Henry, he has been spotted (and subsequently monitored) by a very professional team of covert federal wildlife agents who are working against the very same gang for very different reasons. After observing Henry for a while, these agents come to the conclusion that he is exactly the kind of covert investigator---reckless, tough, fearless, mildly crazy, and totally unpredictable---that they need to round out their team. In effect, a very useful 'wild-card.'

Henry is quickly and efficiently recruited into the Service [the agents give him up to the bikers, and then thoughtfully proceed to save his butt at the last minute, whereupon the understandably skeptical and suspicious new federal agent and his new partners find themselves confronted---and ultimately hunted down---by a team of terribly dangerous international terrorists who have been hired to destroy the environmental movement using a deadly series of CIA-type tricks.

A very kind review: "The prose gallops like a runaway moose through Goddard's environmental adventure yarn."---Publisher's weekly.

And: "Only the fish are neutral in Goddard's bloody, entertaining eco-thriller. An extraordinary and relentlessly violent plot....not for the fainthearted"---Kirkus Reviews.
