A SOARING RAINFOREST CANOPYWITH A SURPRISING MYSTERY...On Eëlios, the rainforest is like nothing on earth, extending more than a kilometer into the sky. In an effort to escape his dangerous past, Leyden signs up for a biological expedition to this remarkable planet, traveling across the universe through wormholes known as Illium portals. But when the mission is sabotaged, Leyden and the others must struggle to survive in a race through the harrowing rapids of the Whitebone River, fighting off pterodactyl-like creatures as well as attacks from a rival expedition.Amid the marvels of the rainforest, Leyden encounters Scylla, an Eëlian woman who nurses him after a lethal attack by arboreal raptors. She helps guide Leyden and his company into a risky alliance with the planet's deadliest species to save the team's quest -- and their lives.But Leyden suspects Eëlios holds more than biological diversity. What is the mystery that has attracted such attention from the space-spanning corporations known as chaebols and the deadly drug triads? Woven throughout the story is the incredible proliferation of life of the high-canopy rainforest and the growing desire between Leyden and Sylla, consort of the Eëlian monarch.Climbing the Rain is a powerful story of love and adventure set in an unforgettable world of unending wonder.
