Reviews
"Debut novelist Landers clearly knows and loves the Boundary Waters, and he admirably captures the drama and beauty of the wild landscape."--Kirkus Reviews
"Alone on the Shield is tense and dramatic, absorbing from beginning to end, one of those precious tales that manages to be both a page-turner and a thoughtful novel of great depth and resonance."--Booklist
"A compelling mixture of adventure and romance, Alone on the Shield is a tightly focused novel that deftly speaks to growing older and the struggle for understanding."--ForeWord Magazine
"Alone on the Shield. . . engaged me from cover to cover with relatable characters, balanced conflicts, picturesque descriptions and more." --Boomer Magazine
"ALONE ON THE SHIELD by Kirk Landers is the perfect way to experience an imaginative travel adventure with some exciting anticipation to rile things up a bit."--The Zest Quest
"Alone on the Shield is a brilliant, hard look into the mirror of our pasts in which our new, ideal selves break free from their old molds and casts. Landers's powerful, sweeping journey into the Canadian wilderness takes readers through trials of self-reflection, endurance, and discovery to find what matters most in life--loves, hatreds, and ideal selves. A true joy to read." --Ross Ritchell, author of The Knife

"Kirk Landers has written a kind of Deliverance set in the wilderness of Canada, though instead of hillbilly horror, the memorable heroes of this novel--a man and woman rediscovering love in late middle age--confront demons of their own making. Rich in suspense, place, and character." --Lin Enger, author of The High Divide and Undiscovered Country
