<v Speaker 1>This is the WBZ book Club. I'm Jordan Rich, big

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.679
<v Speaker 1>fan of Sheriff Walt Longmire. Well, I've got good news.

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>A new one by Craig Johnson, just recently released is

4
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.640
<v Speaker 1>called Tooth and Claw, with us traveling back to the

5
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>earlier days of Sheriff Walt Longmeyer. After returning from Vietnam

6
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen seventy, Walt heads to an Alaskan oil rig

7
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>where he takes on a job as security chief. We

8
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>mede a familiar character, Henry, known as the Cheyenne Nation,

9
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and the two decide to work together, including helping researchers

10
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>being on the lookout for polar bears. This is more

11
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>than a mystery, It's a thriller in every sense of

12
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the word, with the threat of a huge, monstrous bear

13
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 1>that allegedly killed the scientist, a major ice storm that

14
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 1>strands Walt and his friends, who end up spending the

15
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>night on a grounded plane that, due to the storm,

16
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 1>slides into an unstable ice back. This leads to the

17
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 1>survivors finding an abandoned ship, perhaps a ghost ship, as

18
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the thread of the big bad Bear looms. Walt Longmeyer

19
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>is an enduring character, and here we get a look

20
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>back at an early adventure, Craig Johnson's Tooth and Claw,
