Northern Umbrage by Dennis Lorenz is a compelling novel that seamlessly weaves together elements of science fiction, adventure, mystery, and environmental awareness. The narrative centers around Dr. Bucannon, an environmental pathologist, whose investigation into a mysterious creature terrorizing a small Wisconsin town forms the crux of the story.

Hailing from North Dakota, Dr. Buc serves as both an environmental pathologist and an investigator, uniquely positioned to address ecological issues. Upon receiving a call concerning fish deaths, he embarks on a journey to Wisconsin, where the colder climate presents new challenges. Armed with his expertise, Dr. Buc sets out to unravel the mysteries plaguing Eagle River. The tantalizing question lingers: What will Dr. Buc discover, and can he truly resolve the situation? To unravel these mysteries, one must immerse themselves in the pages of this captivating novel.

Lorenz demonstrates meticulous planning in crafting his book, offering a thoughtful introduction to the characters. The protagonist, Dr. Buc, emerges as a likable character, showcasing kindness when he refuses payment for saving a millionaire's daughters, even though he ultimately accepts it due to insistence. The narrative goes beyond conventional storytelling by addressing environmental pollution, exploring its consequences, and portraying Dr. Buc as a valiant savior, dedicated to preserving lives. The plot unfolds with a masterful blend of sci-fi elements, adventure, mystery, and environmental consciousness, showcasing Lorenz's skillful storytelling.

The author adeptly maintains suspense throughout the book, gradually revealing the truth as Dr. Buc's investigation progresses. The narrative unfolds with numerous revelations, surprises, and twists, particularly when Dr. Buc uncovers the toxic chemical dumping by a company named Green Bay Pulp and Paper.

Free from errors and professionally edited, the book earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars. I wholeheartedly recommend Northern Umbrage to enthusiasts of thrillers and mysteries, promising a captivating literary journey into the realms of suspense and environmental intrigue.
