About the Book
The Red Desert of Wyoming is a beautiful and punishing place for anybody, even for game warden Joe Pickett and his friend Nate Romanowski in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller...
Nate is off the grid, recuperating from wounds and trying to deal with past crimes, when he is suddenly surrounded by a small team of elite professional special operators. They're not there to threaten him, but to make a deal. They need help destroying a domestic terror cell in Wyoming's Red Desert, and in return they'll make Nate's criminal record disappear. But they are not what they seem, as Nate's friend Joe Pickett discovers. They have a much different plan in mind, and it just might be something that takes them all down--including Nate and Joe.

Praise for Off The Grid
"As you decide what to read next, I respectfully ask that you pick up or sample Off The Grid by C. J. Box. Please read the first paragraph, whether you are familiar with the Joe Pickett canon or not. I don't care where you are or in what setting you do so; in the course of a few sentences, Box transports the beholder to a place that is far away, exotic and, yes, dangerous. This goes beyond writing; it is craftsmanship of high order....Off The Grid has everything: a hero to stand up and cheer for, a mystery, suspense that will keep you tightly coiled, and Box's impeccable, picturesque prose. There's nothing better." -- Bookreporter.com "An amazing shootout featuring Joe and Nate will satisfy just about everyone." - Cleveland Plain Dealer
