"River guide
Zack Pruitt and his clients get more excitement than they bargained for
in this gripping account of three days on the water battling nature,
each other, and their own demons. Tightly-wrought tension crests to
life-threatening levels as Mahony takes readers on a ride filled with
unexpected twists and turns … Flooding Granite offers nail-chomping suspense on every page."
---Robin Stratton, Boston Literary Magazine
"Tom Mahony knows how to tell a story and, as a scientist, understands the natural environment. In Flooding Granite,
he demonstrates both of these skills with an intelligent action tale
that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go ... More than a
man-battles-nature story, Flooding Granite is layered with a
human element that will have you rooting for Zack and caring for him
despite, and maybe because of, his flaws."
---Wayne Scheer, Author of Revealing Moments
| "This
novel has an earthy and contemporary writing style that reminds me of
writers like Norman Maclean and Jim Harrison … Cross that style with the
adventure and suspense of a film The River Wild and you have Tom Mahony’s novel Flooding Granite in your hands."
"You can tell Mahony has spent some time behind
the oars. His descriptions of everything from rapids and river running to the
hassles of dealing with clients are spot-on. It makes you wish you were on the
river with him."
