"John Keeble has written a novel that will make your heart and mind race. The Shadows of Owls pulses with masterfully written suspense and sparks with questions--questions about the alliances of sorrow and evil, sanctity and madness, love and regret, and especially about the cold, implacable contest between the amoral violence of corporations and the power of stormy seas and snow-drifted land."
Kathleen Dean Moore, author of Holdfast and Wild Comfort.
"John Keeble is a hell of a descriptive writer, and combining his brilliant talent and love of landscape with an eco-thriller is a great idea. The Shadows of Owls is an unusual and ambitious novel with great skill at depicting the outer life of the northwest and the inner life of its characters."
William Dietrich, author of The Barbed Crown and Final Forest.
"The Shadows of Owls evokes Edward Abbey's pro-environmental leanings and Ken Kesey's lyricism. With Keeble's familarity of fisheries, biology, computer technology, logging, and the workings of sea-going vessels, in places it reads like something from Tom Clancy."
James Aho, Professor emeritus of Sociology, Idaho State University.
