Editorial Reviews

"Joel R. Burcat's novel, Drink to Every Beast, is an environmental thriller ripped from the headlines of today's newspapers. Burcat uses his extensive knowledge as an environmental lawyer to serve up a mix of toxic waste, corruption, and greed to launch a spine-tingling thriller that will make you wanting more."
