Reviews
“A sleek, stylish thriller about the high cost of living in paradise. Keen-eyed, heartfelt, and hard to put down.”
—T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times bestselling author of The Rescue
“A tightly wound sleep-wrecker that races across Hawai‘i like an armored convoy on the run from every 21st century threat. As smart as it is gripping, Valley of Refuge is a throwback thriller but also—with its survivalist billionaires, crypto-conspiracies, and class warfare—a savvy and ripping distillation of a world on the brink of extinction.”
—Adam White, bestselling author of Midcoast
“Teschner pulls the curtain on a Hawai‘i hidden from tourists when wealth and power confront ancestral landowners. Full of mystery and intrigue, this well-crafted thriller escalates the tension like a rumbling volcano.”
—Matt Goldman, New York Times bestselling author of A Good Family
Praise for Project Namahana

—Douglas Preston, #1 bestselling co-author of the Agent Pendergast series
“A smart, propulsive, high-stakes dive into the wild heart of Kaua‘i. A stunning debut from a writer I’ll be reading again.”
—James A. McLaughlin, Edgar Award winning author of Bearskin
“Teschner’s exceptional debut, a hard-edged eco-thriller, matches strong characters with a bold plot that fulfills its potential. . . The action builds to a satisfying resolution that doesn’t pull punches.”
