C.J.Box - I agree that you sold out Joe Picket and all of your characters. You had a solid thing with the original story line and characters. You've ruined that whole legacy by allowing your creation to be subsumed by storyline changes, terrible casting, and technical errors. Nate Romanowski has essentially been assassinated. Why in heaven's name would you let an iconic character like Nate be cast as a black man who looks like he came from the hood for a weekend LARPing in the woods? Why is Joe so tortured and weak? Your protagonist has lost his appeal. Do better.
