AMISSVILLE, Va., January 23, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Everyone has nightmares -- fears that are sublimated into the unconscious rising to the surface when we are at our most vulnerable. Challenging and conquering these fears is one way to end these haunting dreams. Or is it? Author R. Leland Waldrip explores this possibility in his latest thriller "Griz Nightmare" (now available as an ebook from 1stBooks Library), the eagerly awaited sequel to "The Last Grizzly."
Jim Wilson was ready for some time off. He planned a week's vacation with some friends near Montana's Glacier National Park, to hunt, enjoy the spectacular scenery, and hopefully to confront his trauma-induced phobia of grizzly bears.
But his plans are thrown into disarray when escaped convicts hijack his group. The dangerous fugitives are headed for the Canadian border. They take hostages with them, forcing the innocent vacationers on a death march through the wilderness.
Already garnering rave reviews, readers agree that "Griz Nightmare" will keep you up at night and keep you guessing until the end. The 2000 Benjamin Franklin Awards judge summed it up nicely: "A very compelling book. It kept me up late turning pages. Definitely not the book to take along on my next camping trip. Very satisfying!"
