Drake McCarty’s leg was shattered deep in the wilderness, and as the flash flood closed over him, he looked death in the face.
When he wakes up in a hospital bed, in a military base that shouldn’t exist, he has a whole leg and a furious sister to deal with.
Drake is sworn to keep a secret he doesn’t understand, but whatever pulled him out of the flood, isn’t quite done with him yet, because even if you leave nothing but footprints, the things that walk the forest can still follow you home.
Excerpt 4
“No little brother, no one interesting,” she replied tiredly, “The only half decent prospect was the IT lead and he was half dead from trying to keep the computers working long enough for us to download the course materials.”
“No!” Drake attempted to drawl the word out. “Don’t tell me that the Park computers were glitching?”
Ama snorted and aimed a halfhearted smack at him.
“Yes,” Ama answered with a yawn, “and this wasn’t just your run of the mill payroll and email problems. The IT guy kept insisting the network was testing his ability to track down new and exotic problems. He spent about an hour ranting to me about the details but all I got was that most of the glitches should have been physically impossible.”
“Sure he wasn’t flirting with you?” Drake asked hopefully only to dodge a well aimed blow with the towel.
“He might have been,” Ama snorted, “but I get the feeling his passion was directed more at the system than me.”
“That reminds me,” Drake stated with a frown. “You old college buddy Pip called to vent a couple of times about their computer system too.”
“Gah, sorry you had to deal with that,” Ama said with a laugh, “Pip can be-”
She made a vague gesture and grimaced.
Drake laughed and shook his head.
