Terror On The Appalachian Trail

About the Book

Three longtime friends and their wives go on vacation together in the Smokey Mountains. During the vacation, the guys had pre-planned to take a two day hiking trip by themselves on one of the more remote section of The Appalachian Trail. That hike turned out to be the adventure of their lives. It ultimately tested not only their friendship and their wilderness skills but their will to survive. They found themselves being stalked by a killer bear that has been driven mad by rabies. In their efforts to get away from the bear, the unthinkable happens and they loose the trail. During their second encounter with the bear they wind up getting separated from each other. This forces one of them to deal with the terror of two seperate bear attacks while all alone in the middle of the night. In all, either individually or as a group, they experience seven terrifying bear encounters. It ultimately turns into a story of courage, teamwork and overcoming one’s fears. It is a testament to their ingenuity and absolute refusal to be intimidated in the face of terror.
