Gone Grizzly

Take the Rocky Mountains, endangered grizzly bears, a sketchy environmentalist and a suicidal Russian chopper pilot with a dart gun. Add some stolen genes, an unusually tall Japanese tour guide who’s anything but shy, and a Native clan who aren’t amused when outsiders start messing with their heritage. You’ve got the makings of Gone Grizzly, an environmental thriller about the race to save the planet’s genetic heritage before it falls into the wrong hands. Gone Grizzly is a fast-paced trip behind the scenes of the conservation “business”, by Zodiac, helicopter, seaplane and stolen SUV. Brian Harvey (Beethoven’s Tenth; The End of the River) uses black humor and stunning locations to tell a story about technology gone wrong – and an unlikely heroine who may be a tour guide but she’s definitely not just along for the ride.
