Swimming the Echo

by Brian L. Tucker

It’s an adventure of a lifetime

When a summer job to explore Mammoth Cave lands in Cade Rainy’s lap, he doesn’t think twice.

The teen from Southern Kentucky makes a break for it.

But when he finds his dad is connected to a man working at Mammoth, Cade discovers there’s more to this trip than meets the eye.

AND THE CAVE IS JUST THE START.

Cade sets out to map the real route of twisted lies through fissures and stalactites, battling claustrophobia and bats.
