After the Gate: a Whitewater Adventure Will Eastburn

The Oakley River seems harmless enough, trickling down from the pristine Colorado mountains and winding past the remote town of Canyon City, Utah, before dropping into the shadows of the towering canyons walls. Due to seasonal water flows and private property, white water trips are reserved for a select few. The owners of the Hurrah Ranch control the river, and this week's guest list is most impressive, including Jenna, a vibrant Brazilian, star of the number one television variety program in the world, Jake, a scrappy racecar driver, and the Smithfields, a small family headed by Jonathon, a volatile venture capitalist, hoping the vacation will save his fragile marriage. There is no turning back as the river transforms into a raging, thundering inferno of terror. Grab your lifejacket and join your new friends as they rocket through the rugged landscape of southern Utah, guided by Clay Russell, their gritty, but lovable rafting guide. Tension mounts when a tragic crime in Canyon City jeopardizes the safety of the rafting party, and the psychotic perpetrator seeks the safety of the river for escape. Floating the Oakley River is an exciting, dangerous thrill ride with twists and turns around every bend. Prepare yourself for non-stop reading, because After The Gate offers that same excitement.
