Wildly liberal Washington State Senator Lisa Belle from the Seattle area pins her hopes for an upcoming U.S. Senate run on 'milestone ecological legislation' The Belle Noble Grizzly Bear Restoration Act. Sixty grizzly bears are about to be seeded into the wilderness of Central Washington's remote, sparsely populated, and largely conservative Okanogan County. A motley and eclectic crew of Okanogan Countians are micro-thrilled with the prospect of numerous land sharks being dropped into their backyards by an alien state legislator. They decide that the only way to stop the Belle bear bill is to 'seed' a kidnapped grizzly of their own into the state senate chamber. Not ... everything ... goes as planned. Cascade Chaos is irreverant, politically incorrect, bipartisan fun for the adult reader-a not-so-subtle reminder that humanity often triumphs in spite of itself ... albeit sometimes with a little help from a grizzly bear.

Mostly, if I don't have good things to say about a book, I just don't rate or review it. I'm making an exception here because of why I purchased this book: I'd read the author's two excellent mysteries years ago. Even though this book is clearly not a mystery or written in the same vein as those books, I did expect the same level of prose ability and style. I was very disappointed. There is a plot. It does resolve that much. And it gets a star for not having typos and other errors. But I am baffled and disappointed that the writer who crafted Shepherd of the Wolves and Butcher of the Noble penned this (other than in a alcoholic haze as a practical joke) and allowed it out the door. I think the book was trying to skewer stereotypes on both sides, but it's so flat and non-dimensional, ;it could reflect exactly what Slusher thinks just as easily (and I am capable of appreciating another viewpoint than mine without feeling attacked by disagreement).Serious subjects can be handled to great effect with humor (MASH and Catch-22 come to mind), and politics and politicians of all stripes should always be mocked, but don't waste time or money thinking that this achieves even a pale ghost of that. As I read, I kept thinking that the book was trying for something I'd come across before. Thomas Perry manages to weave together some quite ridiculous heists and scams in his plots, along with some over the top characters and sustains his books with a dry,, sardonic humor. Cascade Chaos had the basic materials for something similar, but failed because it just isn't funny and none of the characters have enough depth for me to care about them in the least.

For those who do not know Bill Slusher I would like as part of full disclosure to say that it has been my pleasure and honor to know him for the past 20 years and to also inform readers who are not acquainted with his background that he was an Army helicopter pilot in Vietnam, later flew helicopters to off shore oil rigs in the Gulf and finally was a pilot in the Fairfax, Virginia Police Helicopter Unit . It was there, where my son is a pilot, that I met Bill and we always had a lot to talk about as I had been a Naval Aviator involved in Rolling Thunder operations in Vietnam.
About the time he retired from Fairfax County and he and his Wife and their horses, dogs and cats moved to ranch in central Washington State his first book was published which was a very fast moving thriller, but this most recent publication, Cascade Chaos, is not only fast moving and at the same time side splitting humorous, as the previous reviewers have emphasized, and all the time rivets reader interest for a dramatic finish, truly the mark of a skillful and polished writer.
I say Bravo Bill. You have given us something that is a joy to read, a rollicking good story that has fun with conservatives and liberals and hangs out Political Correctness on the clothesline of humorous scorn.
Hilarious. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
It is not often you can have a good old fashioned belly laugh in this day and age. This tome is extremly well written with character development and plots that are belivable and just plain fun. Tried to find this in the Seattle area library, but true to liberal censorship, it was not to be found. If there was still a book of the month club this would rate is own month. Read it, enjoy it, and send a copy to your friends on the west coast.
An incredibly funneeee story by William Slusher called "Cascade Chaos." Totally irreverent, politically incorrect, had me rolling my eyes, deep belly-laughing, putting it down over and over again just to savor the ridiculousness and humor of the author's plot and characters. If you want a flight from the dredge and drudge and insanity of today's economic woes and political insanity, THIS IS THE ONE. Have to say that Slusher has become my very favorite author.
This book is refreshingly politically incorrect, and hilariously so. The writing is like a magic carpet comedy tour of Washington State, and the characters are so real that I swear I have seen Blubbo in the Omak Wal-Mart. One of the best things I liked about the novel was that I could not predict what was going to happen next. It kept me up for a couple of nights finishing up a chapter (or two), much to my husband's dismay. By the time the crew was heading for Olympia, I was wondering if I needed a seat belt for my chair, as the literary roller coaster ride was getting wilder by the page! I am not lending my copy out. It has earned a place on my "books that get thrown out the window if my house catches on fire" shelf. By the way, I am pretty sure that the word "dabestic" is destined to become the next adjective of many uses. Read the book to find out about that word, and get ready for a rollicking good time.
I chose four stars because this is not the great American novel, although my friend and colleague William Slusher may very well write one.
This is humor with a political edge about a serious subject. I recommend it.
