About The Gap Novel
Synopsis
The Darien Gap. A 10,000 square mile rain forest between Colombia and Panama. The most unexplored and dangerous jungle on Earth. Each year, thousands risk their lives in a hellish trek northward through the Gap, for a chance at something better.
They face unrelenting heat, humidity, venomous animals and insects, poisonous plants, starvation, thirst, disease. The most dangerous creatures are the ones the travelers hire, to guide them through this primeval place.
Migrants are routinely robbed, raped, murdered, or simply lured down ghost trails and left to die. Terror and death are a constant companion.
The migrants are the nameless, known only by their dialects or countries of origin.
Guided through the hellish landscape by three ruthless, amoral human traffickers, each step becomes a struggle for survival as the group discovers the nature of the men to whom they have entrusted their lives. The violence escalates with each passing day, erupting in a shocking act of brutality. And the worst was yet to come.
Thirty men, women and children set out to find a new life. But an old one found them instead.
Awakening from a horrific vision of ancient rituals and malevolent gods, they find themselves in a dreamworld of eldritch creatures, old ones from the depths of space and time itself. With four dead at dawn, in the shadow of a malformed and alien edifice beyond reason, the group sets out to find their way back.
Over the course of the next four days, each of them will discover that some paths are better left untraveled. That a new life can take on many forms. And that some gaps were never meant to be crossed.
