BIGFOOT - Whitewater: A Cryptid Survival Thriller Action Adventure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185617083)

He broke his isolation to save them. Now, the river isn't the only thing hunting them.

Seven years ago, a devastating river tragedy destroyed Jonah Reed's career and drove him into absolute exile. Living in a plywood shack along the forbidden waters of the Blackwater Run, he maintains a fragile, unspoken pact with the gorge's most terrifying secret: an eight-foot-tall apex guardian that tolerates Jonah's presence only because he leaves no trace.

But on the Fourth of July weekend, the outside world crashes through the canopy.

When Tara Bell and her two children stumble into his camp, they aren't just running from the wilderness-they are fleeing a ruthless group of drug smugglers and a corrupt county deputy. Armed with a cracked phone containing digital proof of a brutal execution, the family has nowhere left to hide. With every access road blocked and toxic chemical smoke funneling down the canyon walls, Jonah is forced to make an impossible choice.

To get them out alive, he must guide an unequipped family through twelve miles of lethal Class V rapids in a leaking raft. But as the mercenaries close the distance with high-speed jet boats, the ancient protector of the territory rises to wage an all-out war against the invaders.

Locked in a frantic race against bullets and boiling whitewater, Jonah must face the ghosts of his past and navigate a mechanical gauntlet where the territory itself executes judgment.
