THIS STORY TAKES PLACE IN 1952. TWO TEN YEAR CHILDREN, LESTER AND DORA, FROM TROY MONTANA, GET LOST IN THE "UNFORGIVING WILDERNESS" OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND ARE MIRACULOUSLY RETURNED HOME A YEAR LATER, AS IF THEY HAD NEVER LEFT. THEY ENCOUNTER BEARS, COUGARS, AND ANIMALS MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW EXIST, INCLUDING THE MOST ELUSIVE CREATURE KNOW TO MAN, "SASQUATCH". THEY BARELY ESCAPE TWO MURDEROUS CONVICTS AND A "MONSTROUS GRIZZLY BEAR" THAT STANDS OVER 12 FEET TALL. A "FEROCIOUS PACK OF WOLVES" CHASE THEM DOWN A RIVER AND OVER A MAJESTIC WATER FALL INTO A "TERRIFYING WHIRLPOOL" THAT SUCKS THEM WAY DOWN INTO A "HUGE PITCH BLACK AND OMINOUS CAVERN". PEOPLE FROM A SUBTERRANEAN CITY, RESCUE THEM FROM THE DEPTHS OF THE WHIRLPOOL AND TELEPATHICALLY TELL THEM ABOUT THEIR CITY, AND HOW TWO OF THEIR GIRLS WERE LOST ON THE SURFACE WORLD AND WERE NEVER FOUND. THEY ALSO SHARED WITH LESTER AND DORA SECRETS OF OUR OWN ANCIENT HUMAN LIFE ON EARTH. THESE PEOPLE RARELY GO TO THE SURFACE, BUT WHEN THEY DO THEY HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THEIR FORM INTO THE CREATURE WE KNOW AS "SASQUATCH". THEY THEN TELEPORT THE CHILDREN BACK HOME TO TROY, MONTANA. TO THE EXACT SPOT AND TIME, AS IF THEY HAD NEVER LEFT. LESTER AND DORA BOTH FEEL THEY HAVE A MISSION, AND THAT IS TO FIND THE TWO MISSING SUBTERRANEAN GIRLS AND RETURN THEM HOME TO THEIR OWN WORLD BELOW THE SURFACE. THIS BRINGS US RIGHT INTO BOOK TWO. "THE SEARCH IS ON". Ultimately rescuing BeeBee from the horrifying mountain, man known as Old Mad Jack, and being able to bring her back from deaths door, was a dangerous feat in itself, but in doing so Lester and Dora find themselves aboard a floating disk with the subterranean people known as Hgiahs and are at the beginning of the most dangerous and terrifying journey any human has ever undertaken when they are given the explosive task of discovering, "From Whence We came".

Book Description
The October sun was setting over a wild, wide waste of waving grass, growing dry and yellow in the autumn winds. The scarlet hips gleamed between the whitening blades wherever the pale pink roses of summer had shed their fragrant leaves. But now the brief Indian summer was drawing to its close, and winter was coming down upon that vast Canadian plain with rapid strides. The wailing cry of the wild geese rang through the gathering stillness. The driver of a rough Red River cart slapped the boy by his side upon the shoulder, and bade him look aloft at the swiftly-moving cloud of chattering beaks and waving wings. For a moment or two the twilight sky was darkened, and the air was filled with the restless beat of countless pinions. The flight of the wild geese to the warmer south told the same story, of approaching snow, to the bluff carter. He muttered something about finding the cows which his young companion did not understand. The boy's eyes had travelled from the winged files of retreating geese to the vast expanse of sky and plain. The west was all aglow with myriad tints of gold and saffron and green, reflected back from many a gleaming lakelet and curving river, which shone like jewels on the broad breast of the grassy ocean. Where the dim sky-line faded into darkness the Touchwood Hills cast a blackness of shadow on the numerous thickets which fringed their sheltering slopes. Onward stole the darkness, while the prairie fires shot up in wavy lines, like giant fireworks.
