How far do we go until wefve gone too far? The South Nahanni River has a history of mysterious deaths, disappearances and headless corpses, but it may also hold the key to humanity's survival--or its destruction. Seven years ago, Del Hawthorne's father and three of his friends disappeared near the Nahanni River and were presumed dead. When one of the missing men stumbles onto the University grounds, alive but barely recognizable and aging before her eyes, Del is shocked. Especially when the man begins rambling about a secret river and time travel. Then he tells her something inconceivable. Her father is still alive! Gathering a group of volunteers, Del travels to the Nahanni River to rescue her father. There, she finds a secret underground river that plunges her into a technologically advanced world of nanobots and painful serums. Del uncovers a conspiracy of unimaginable horror, a plot that threatens to destroy us all. Will humanity be sacrificed for the taste of eternal life? And at what point have we become God?

Author Comment:
One of my mother's friends had a dream to travel along a mysterious river in Canada. When my mother told me some of the rumors of this river'the name of which she couldn't remember, I became hooked and a chilling story began to brew in my mind. The search was on to find that river. The South Nahanni River in Canada's rugged Northwest Territories is one of the most spectacular sights in the world. It is fraught with exquisite beauty and hidden dangers. It is also filled with an abundance of plant and animal life¯not to mention, woven with legends older than dirt, as my husband would say. This may be the river to which my motherfs friend was referring. Or it may not. Nevertheless, the Nahanni River holds many secrets. Decades ago headless skeletons and corpses were discovered along its banks. Over the years, people have gone missing, and I've heard it referred to as the Bermuda Triangle of Canada. Although THE RIVER is interwoven with fact, this novel is a work of factcand fiction. Ifll let you be the judge of which is which. Take the ride of your life, down THE RIVER!
