Reviews

"In prose as clear as the mountain air, Marty relates one marvellous story after another, drawing on his more than 25 years experience in the Rocky Mountains."
-National Post

"Marty's artistry is such that the stories in Switchbacks seem to have emerged from the mountains themselves....Some chapters will have your adrenalin coursing and your heart pounding; one or two others may make you weep. All of them will thrill you with the concrete vitality of landscape and language."
-Globe and Mail
