Something or someone has encapsulated an entire valley on Earth.
The story begins at an abandoned overgrown trail with the scary name of
'The Devils Tail'. The trail lies a few miles southeast of Portland
Oregon. The trail has been around for several years and has many
frightening rumors associated with it about why people disappeared
while hiking the trail. Two childhood friends get together and chat
about the trail. One of the friends, Janet Johnson, an experienced
hiker wants to hike the trail and the other Bob Wild is terrified of
the trail and doesn't want to hike it. Bob tells Janet that the
reason he is doesn't want to hike it is because people who hiked the
trail never came back. Janet thinks this is silly and just rumors.
She finally convinces Bob to reluctantly go with her on the trail.
The two of them set out on a thrilling and frightening adventure of a
lifetime. What they encounter changes their lives forever. The hike
encompasses the interactions of people from two different worlds and
the meeting of a Charles Manson type leader who thinks he is God.

Bob and Janet ate breakfast and got ready to go to work. They talked about the upcoming attempt at freedom. They talked about whether or not they thought it would be successful and whether or not they could pull it off.
"I have a feeling that it won't be easy," Bob said. "Even if we get the weapons, it'll still be a miracle if we can hold off the army of soldiers that they have to guard this place. I've seen some of them and Jim has seen a lot more."

ReplyDeleteI would ask the author if he has ever thought about writing a different genre. I think the cover being in black and white adds to the creepiness.

This sounds like a great story. I love the woods and I love science fiction. The cover is awesome.
ReplyDeleteReal life is scary enough- if you don't believe me watch the news on TV. The cover of this book and the blurb doesn't scram- "Lets Escape the real world".
ReplyDeleteLooks great.
