Critical Praise
“The makings of a western classic, Michael Punke’s novel THE REVENANT provides muscle and sinew to the vengeful and epic tale of mountain man, Hugh Glass that even a sow Grizzly couldn’t rend asunder.”
—Craig Johnson, author of the Walt Longmire novels
“A superb revenge story…Punke has added considerably to our understanding of human endurance and of the men who pushed west in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark --- a significant feat.”
—The Washington Post Book World
“A captivating tale of a singular individual…Authenticity is exactly what THE REVENANT provides, in abundance.”
—The Denver Post
“One of the great tales of the 19th-century West.”
—The Salt Lake Tribune
“A gripping and hard-edged tale of survival, revenge and, ultimately, redemption…Loosely based on true events, Glass’s harrowing journey will keep readers engaged throughout. A must-read for fans of Westerns and frontier fiction and recommended for anyone interested in stories that test the limit of how much the human body and spirit can endure.”
