Knysna Forest: A True Epic Survival Story
()
About this ebook
Sparky, a 19-year old, quick-witted thrill-seeker, went hiking in the majestic Knysna forest in South Africa upon returning from the United Kingdom. After a series of bad decisions, driven by stubbornness, he tumbles off a cliff with no turning back.
Wounded, lost, low on supplies, and without any knowledge of survival, he is plagued by nature’s lethal attacks until he is too weak to carry on. As dusk and dehydration ominously takes its toll, he is faced with fears he never anticipated.
As death approaches mercilessly again and again, he must fight above willpower to stay alive. With every calculated risk, less calculated, hope, survival, and divine intervention, becomes a distant dream.
Knysna Forest is an epic, true miracle race-against-time survival-story that will leave adventurers astounded in anticipation.
“If you are reading this, it means that you are experiencing the result of a miracle, because how is it possible that I survived death, more than once?”
