Douglas Preston
New York Time’s Bestselling author Douglas Preston rates Retribution outstanding. Preston, who has one of the most loyal followings of fans in fiction writing, doesn’t hand out grades like that often.
“Retribution is just outstanding.”Preston wrote.
‘Doug Preston is one of the most interesting writers I know.” Harp said. “He has this wealth of experiences that he imports into his writing. I would love to ride with him on one of his horseback trips across New Mexico.” Preston wrote of his horseback trips that he often takes.
Retribution’s lead character Will Parker has a similar reliance on one’s ability to handle challenges.

Lee Child
