Critical Praise

"Wells has festooned [his characters'] ordeal with as much humor as a writer can stick on a run through hell. [He] describes Logan and his situations, however wet, with a dry, Cajun fatalism. . . . [One finds] plenty of pleasure in the language and sense of place that dominate."

——The Miami Herald

"Don't give up on Logan LaBauve. 'Cause he's about to meet up with a hell of a woman and a hell of a hurricane that shows what he's really made of."

——The Wall Street Journal

"When you start a book neck-deep in a swamp of cottonmouths, wasps, leeches and mosquitoes, you'd better have a good story to tell. Ken Wells does, and he tells it with vigor and charm."

——The Seattle Times

"A Cajun-flavored tall tale of the bayous . . . colorful, compelling . . . Wells has a gift for capturing his locale, and he gives us a spectacular tour."

——St. Louis Post-Dispatch
