About this listen
This is Wasserman’s third book about his encounters with animal poachers in the wilds of Pennsylvania. Join him as he patrols four-hundred square miles of rural mountain terrain in search of some of the most unpredictable—and interesting—characters you’ll ever meet. Wasserman relates the dangers of his job with pulse-pounding clarity. He is a wonderful storyteller. His crisp use of dialog makes his characters come alive in every page. Wildlife Guardian contains six of his best tales to date.

Story
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

Critic reviews
“Perennial favorite William Wasserman is back with his sixth book. The stories from this retired 32-year veteran conservation officer just keep coming and are as entertaining and enlightening as ever. Wildlife Guardian is written in Wasserman’s usual high-quality style that keeps you turning the pages until, before you know it, the book is done. Anyone who has not read any of Wasserman’s books before could easily start with this one and work backwards, as they do not need to be read in any particular order, and they are all top-notch game warden non-fiction.” —Gerry W. Lister, Editor, International Game Warden Magazine
“His accounts read like scripts for a true-life reality television show. Murderers, drug addicts, dope dealers, and outlaw bikers have all crossed his path, to ends not of their liking.” —Al Holliday, Editor, Pennsylvania Magazine
“Wasserman is at his best when his stranger-than-fiction stories reveal their own truths.” —Cheryl Moskaluk, Editor, The Alberta Game Warden
