Summary: Buffalo Medicine for the Soul
Review: I couldn't put this book down, the best read I have had in years.

As a National Park Service Ranger, I was looking forward to reading this book, which promised to be a thriller based on real issues at Yellowstone National Park. Wow, was I not disappointed. April Christofferson has written an action packed suspense novel which is based on a very tragic reality, the annual slaughter of the bison of Yellowstone by the state of Montana and US federal agencies.

April's background as a veterinarian and a biotech lawyer is clearly obvious in her depiction of the situation at our nation's first National Park. If you like the novels of Robin Cook and Michael Creighton, I think you will like Buffalo Medicine.

The tension that drives this novel to an incredible conclusion will touch everyone concerned about the fate of our nation's wildlife and wild places. For environmentalists and animal activists it's a must read. If you are just a lover of a damn good romantic thriller, you will find this novel both satisfying and a call for action.
