    About this ebook

    Brendan is driving through the night to an isolated beach, where he plans to try out his new surfboard at daybreak. Surprised by several mountain goats in the middle of the road, he loses control of his car and plunges down a cliff, coming to rest on a rocky beach. With a broken leg, no food or water and no chance of rescue, Brendan must draw on all his inner strength just to stay alive. Learn how he ultimately survives in this gripping novelette.
