For the last time, Mack and his wife, Vonnie, go camping in the mountains of Wyoming in order to say goodbye. Stuck in debts and alcohol, Mack has gradually forced to abandon Vonnie deep love which had drawn westward, and the young woman her life again. This hike is a moment of complicity found, a final chance to disclose to each other. For Mack, the expedition is also an opportunity to perform one last mission for a dubious means to save his ranch from bankruptcy. At the heart of the wilderness, guided by a weak GPS signal, it must find a mysterious beacon lost during an overflight of the region. But this mission will prove much more dangerous than expected. The Signal is a masterful novel combining the fate of a love that ends with a thriller that takes us in a paroxysm of anguish. An exciting book which reads in one sitting.
Faithful to its editorial, publishing Gallmeister, we offer again a return to nature.
Ron Carlson in signal, not only takes us on a hike in Wyoming, with his writing in an almost invisible to project yourself into the mountains, so that reading, I was there below, the backpack, stick in hand to sweat on the roads, and (almost) enjoy the lakes vibrant colors.
Last, there is not that the author does not merely a contemplative novel, which could become tiresome.
It features a former couple, who finds himself for a farewell ride, somehow, like the good old days, the time in love. Two people who repeat time of 3 days of actions of common life. Mak leaves prison after being involved in cases not very clear to keep costs to cost the family ranch. Vonnie, who shoulder, then throw in the towel, accept this last visit, unaware that Mack has not quite broken with his former habits, and that the hike is not really as she had imagined. And that's what will keep the reader spellbound.
The author leads us to reflect on the end of love, the couple, or at least what is left, and the question of a possible reversal. Inevitably the reader will think: what if, finally ... ... ...
In a style that mixes the theme of nature, big spaces, the surrounding beauty that is contemplated along with our two friends, one more vivid and live sporting moments and more virile, and, finally, the memories scattered across the novel with which the author makes us "go" in the characters, Ron Carlson, managed to snatch his reader, and I caught, and train passionately in this story.
