Though Not Dead

Kate Shugak has just lost Old Sam, a father figure in her life. With his passing Kate is asked by Old Sam himself to “Find His Father”. With this statement Kate is thrown into the secret past of the Tribe, as well as the paternity of Old Sam. With a tribal artifact missing, secret hiding places and a priceless manuscript, Kate has her hands full of questions with not many answers.

Though Not Dead is the 18th book in the Kate Shugak Series by Dana Stabenow. This was my first experience with Dana Stabenow. For all you listeners and readers out there the Kate Shugak Series may be listened to separately. Ms. Stabenow does mention past happenings from previous books but it does not take away from the current storyline. One recommendation I have: make a quick note or two about each character. There are quite a few characters and I had a hard time remember who was who. This also might be a problem of mine since this is my first book I’ve listen to and have not been acquainted with some of the characters from previous stories. Overall, I enjoyed the audiobook and will listen to the adventures of Kate Shugak and her trusty companion, Mutt.

Join Kate in an Alaskan Adventure! Will she be able to answer the many questions she has about gold, artifacts, manuscripts and Old Sam’s past without losing her life? Kate is no stranger to bumps and bruises but has Mutt and she finally met their match?
