Publisher's summary

An experimental rafting expedition, an FBI manhunt for a delusional killer, and the worst storm in decades collide in the remote mountain wilderness...and then THEY come out.

"'Deliverance' with fangs."

THE GORGE

Bowie Whitlock and a team of celebrity athletes is commissioned to test two experimental rafts in the rugged Unegama Wilderness Gorge in the remote Appalachian Mountains, considered the most dangerous whitewater rapids in the eastern United States. Photographer Dove Krueger, Bowie's occasional lover, is there to document the journey. The expedition is tense from the start as jealousy, romance, and money are riding on the mission's success.

FBI agent Jim Castle and his partner are in the gorge looking for Ace Goodall, a deranged abortion clinic bomber. Ace, accompanied by a fragile young woman, is having visions that guide his murderous behavior. A trip-wire around his camp detonates a rigged explosive, tearing apart part of a cliff wall and exposing a long-hidden vampire species to the world.

The race is on as dark storm clouds gather, the river is swollen, and Ace hijacks the rafting expedition to make his escape. But the bloodthirsty creatures swooping down from the high cliffs have been too long without prey.

Ace has one more bomb. God is talking to him. It's raining again, and his young companion is pregnant. And killing isn't what it used to be, because the dead no longer stay dead.

Zero redeeming value

Poorly written, poorly executed vampire story with a barrel full of unlikable characters thrust into nonsense situations. It took me about 30 minutes before I wanted to set every character in this book on fire. There's something grossly disturbing about a story in which a character maintains a 14 hour erection while getting mouth raped in a cave.

I did give it a single star though (largely because I had to), but also because Nicholson had the stones to turn the most vile, unlikable one of all into the protagonist.

Nicholson himself admits this isn't one of his best. When the author can't even stand behind it....

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
