Stan Straub’s previously published book, “The Trail in the Woods”.
The Trail in the Woods is a book that I wrote prior to The Terminus List. It’s a thriller that will captivate you and carry you from the opening chapter to the unexpected ending. Along the way, you will encounter an electrified greenish-yellow fog and then you will meet humans with gills. You will meet the Tribulator, a creature that runs the Valley of the Gods and thinks he is God. The valley is an environmentally perfect place that the Tribulator established. Two people, Bob and Janet, get captured and taken to the valley. They are locked up in the valley and coerced into helping promote the Tribulators brand of religion.
The Trail in the Woods is a frightening book that leads us to a possible future world waiting for all of us. The fate of the world hinges on whether Bob and Janet can escape from the valley and the powerful Tribulator.
