ESCAPE THROUGH THE WILDERNESS:
Sixteen-year-old Savannah Evans walks with a slight limp thanks to a gymnastics’ accident that dashed her Olympic dreams, but didn’t stop her from attending an adventure camp in Idaho. At Camp Arrowhead, she quickly befriends Jade Chang and Rico Cruz, but Conner Swift taunts Savi because of her injury.
When the four are teamed together for an
overnight white-water river rafting adventure, Savi refuses to get in the same
raft with Conner. Unfortunately, the director will not reassign her.
A fun expedition down the river turns into
a nightmare when their raft slams into a huge rock and their adult guide
disappears down the river.
Without their guide and desperately trying
to steer an out-of-control raft, they pass the “last chance” marker and enter
the larger rapids. With Jade pinned between the raft and a rock, and Rico
clinging to a lifeline, Savi must cut the raft free.
When the four drag themselves out of the
river, they’re bruised, beaten, lost, and twenty-five miles from camp. Because
of late-night campfire tales of Vexel, a vicious animal that roams the nearby
woods, Savi and the others are terrified.
Savi becomes the unlikely leader who tries
to guide the group back to Camp Arrowhead. Limited supplies, injuries, and the
constant threat of Vexel—who Savi fears is stalking them, complicate the
harrowing return trip.
Readers will enjoy dramatic survival scenes
and the group working together, solving problems, and learning to overcome
adversity.

About Gary Rodriguez: My name is
Gary Rodriguez, and I live in California. I'm the president of LeaderMetrix
Inc., a consulting company that specializes in senior-level executive coaching,
organizational development, and conflict resolution.
Previously, I worked for eighteen years in
the radio business as an executive where I spent several years as one of the
original managers of Infinity Broadcasting.
Following a successful radio career I
became the president of a non-profit organization for a season.
As a young man, I spent a tour of duty in
the U.S. Army where I was recognized as the youngest Drill Instructor in the
Army's history at age 18 years. I was also awarded the Silver Star (the
nation's third highest award for valor) while serving in a combat zone.
Over the past few years, I've written three
non-fiction books and then I decided to write a novel.
My first book, Purpose-Centered Public
Speaking, was published in 2009 and was re-published this summer (2014). Then I
wrote a companion workbook designed to help people implement the principles
taught in my first book. Next, I wrote Overcoming The Fear Of Public Speaking.
And this past year, I wrote my first novel, Escape Through The Wilderness.
