Eric Blehm writes narrative nonfiction about soldiers, outdoor lives and people operating in dangerous environments. The Last Season investigates the disappearance of veteran National Park Service ranger Randy Morgenson in California’s Sierra Nevada, combining search narrative with a portrait of wilderness work.
