Down for Air

With their power plant destroyed, the 'therians send a reconnaissance group down to 'theria to investigate the disaster. While below, they encounter Aral, a sixteen-year-old Cthonian--the only person left alive after the Cthonians' botched attack on the 'therian power plant. But when Aral realizes that Rex Himmel is related to an 'therian asylum-seeker living among the Cthonians, Rex understands that Aral might be the connection he needed to rebuild his broken family. "Down for Air" is book #3 from "Vertical World", an EPIC Press series, a division of ABDO. Two worlds--'theria, a stratospheric complex mostly devoid of oxygen; and Cthonia, a terrestrial civilization thriving on fungus and ground water. Both places go ignored until one world attacks the other under mysterious circumstances. A group of 'therian operatives infiltrate Cthonia to investigate. While in this new world, the team discovers that not only everything they had been told about the world below is false, but both civilizations truly want peace. Two sixteen-year-olds, Rex and Aral, race against the clock to avert war. "Vertical World" is an EPIC Press series, a division of ABDO.
