When four-year-old Eliot goes wandering alone into the Hoh Rainforest, a peaceful family camping trip becomes a daring search-and-rescue operation. Just when the situation seems hopeless, Eliot is saved by a protector with his own motivation. But the government is trying to cover up the existence of Eliot's rescuer, and the FBI and park rangers will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe. Eliot's unlikely guardian must find a way to return the boy to safety without exposing himself to danger.
Encounter is a fast-paced novella of legendary proportions.
