Thunderstruck: Before the Thunder (Paperback)

<p>How did people first come to North America?</p> <p>Anthropologists and geologists surmise that early humans crossed over what is known as the Bering land bridge thousands of years ago. Though plausible, this theory doesn't provide all the answers.</p> <p>What if early humans took another route to North America? More specifically, what if they came via a subterranean northwest passage?</p> <p>Set thousands of years before the events of <i>Thunder under the Badlands</i>, <i>Before the Thunder </i>chronicles the underground journey of a tribe of early American settlers as they seek new lands and opportunities. Before finding a new home, however, they must work together to survive the terrors within the ancient corridor.</p> <p>In the spirit of the Thunderstruck series, <i>Before the Thunder</i> presents wonder, discovery, and peril in equal measure. It enriches the Thunderstruck canon by providing a never-before-seen version of North America and the underground world of Cretacea.</p> <p><i>Before the Thunder</i> is a quintessentially human story of courage, perseverance, and adaptation. Though the setting may be unfamiliar, the humor, sharp dialogue, and deep characters make it a timeless tale with which anyone can relate.</p>
