Rat City

The Carson Cousins crept cautiously down the limestone cliff face. A narrow chute descended steeply and although the weathered rocks looked like steps, any one of them could break free and cause a tragic fall. However, this was the right amount of danger to make it exciting; they were climbing down into the unknown.

Heart beating fast and leading the trio, twelve year old Travis spied the end - the crevice took an abrupt turn, becoming a three-foot-wide ledge piled inches deep in scat. He couldn't believe his eyes.

"Come on down y'all, you've got to see this!"

Rachel, Travis, and Logan had finally earned their "kids only, no parents" campout at the ranch. They'd passed tests of teamwork and survival skills, and thought they were well prepared for forty-eight hours alone in the wild. However, Cisco Reef Ranch had held its secret too long and was waiting to unburden itself on the cousins.

A hidden cave, tucked in the cliffs above Caddo Creek.

An angry wild hog with a grudge.

A dangerous poacher full of greed.

The events of the weekend push them to their physical and mental limits, preparing them for a journey that would take them far from their Texas home and change the lives of three generations of Carsons. Experience the campout of a lifetime in Rat City, the first book in a faith filled, family focused, science fiction trilogy!
