Terror Falls: A Toven Discoveries Story

by Cherie Mitchell

Terror comes before a fall. Scientist Gerry Lawson is embarking on another assignment for Toven Discoveries, and this time he is headed for the mysterious Fiordland National Park in Southland, New Zealand. Several groups of hikers have failed to return after setting off on a well-known tourist hike through the scenic bushland, and none have left any clues as to what may have happened to them. To add to the mystery, over the past few years multiple sightings have been made of the apparently long-extinct giant Moa bird and now fresh and unexplainable giant-sized, three-toed footprints have been found in the mud near a rainforest waterfall. Gerry is assigned by Toven Reynolds, the enthusiastic and dynamic CEO of Toven Discoveries to explore the mystery, discover what could have happened to the lost hikers, and most of all prove whether or not the elusive Moa still lives. Gerry is determined to make this project a success and he has resolved to throw everything he has into the assignment. A victorious end to this mission may finally cement his position with the company and allow him the scientific glory that he has always dreamed of. However, just when things start looking up for Gerry, it’s unfortunate that the man whom the locals call the Red Terror turns everything on its end, along with an expected return to the past that Gerry never anticipated. What's a man to do except keep battling on? Fans of India Jones-styled action-adventure fantasies will love this story.

What Happened

Not one of the author’s best books. I was hoping this was going to be another fantastic story concerning mythical beasts but it fell short. It seemed like it was more of the same dysfunctional relationship between the main character Gerry and Leigh. I have to admit that the more I read about them the less I like them. With that said I will read the next book but I hope it actually has some mystery and action and not just the same crazy junk between Gerry and Leigh.

Terror falls

It was an intetesting book. Im giving it five stars because it was well written even if parts of it was unbelievable. Hikers go missing and large unknown species killing people. Thats what this book is about
