But Destroyer Angel is more than the sum of its parts- and its descriptions. Naturally Anna Pigeon gets to impart valuable information on responsible camping, and you'd better believe that much-needed comic relief is interspersed throughout all the deadly seriousness. Of course, it's an adventure story- women against killers and nature. No one can put five females and an old dog out in the middle of nowhere, make them face untold danger, and have readers clapping and cheering like Nevada Barr can. Anna has extremely few resources and absolutely no access to the outside world- and she's got two days to rescue her friends before they are either killed or flown out of the country. When she returns, she finds that four heavily armed men have taken the other four females hostage. On the second night out, Anna goes off on a solo float down the Fox River. For Heath and Leah, it's time to test cutting-edge camping equipment designed for the disabled. For Anna, it's a time to relax and recharge. With Anna are her friend Heath, a paraplegic Heath's 15-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Leah, a wealthy designer of outdoor equipment and Leah's 13-year-old daughter, Katie. Paul Davidson has sent his wife, Anna Pigeon, off on an autumn canoe trip in upstate Minnesota. First Line: Paul Davidson was stopped on the overpass outside of Denver International Airport, amused as always by the statue of the great blue Gumby horse rearing against the white peaks of the terminal roof in the background.
