Deep in the isolated Northwest Territories, four friends are on the trip of a lifetime. Dropped by helicopter into the remote Canadian wilderness, Hutch, Terry, Phil, and David are looking to escape the events of a tumultuous year - a bitter divorce, bankruptcy, depression, and job loss - for two weeks of hunting, fishing, and camping.

Utilizing more than a few narrative elements from James Dickey's 1970 classic Deliverance, Liparulo sends a quartet of middle-aged Colorado buddies on a 10 day vacation in the remote wilds of northern Saskatchewan in this measured techno-thriller.

Liparulo’s novels have all the elements vital for a fine suspense thriller. They mix thorough research, gripping entertainment, engaging character and dialogue, and that rare essential an all consuming plotline.

Now the four businessmen are on a hunting trip in Canada and everything is going well - until someone starts hunting them. An experimental laser weapon has been commandeered and is terrorizing both the hunters and the residents of the remote town nearby. The men must decide whether to run for their lives... or rescue the innocent in the town.

It's only when the militants unexpectedly attract the attention of John Hutchinson (Hutch), also out hunting, that the tables are turned yet again and the race is on in this not stop story of tension, action and survival.

An intense novel of character forged in the midst of struggle, survival, and sacrifice, Deadfall is highly-acclaimed author Robert Liparulo's rivetingly smart thriller.
