From the back cover:
Directly ahead of us a wall of rock and mud blocked half the road. Where the other half should have been was nothing—black, yawning nothing... After their car plunges down a steep cliff into Suicide Gulch, five students try to survive in the bleak British Columbia mountains until one of them can climb back up the cliff to get help. For shy Karen the days in the bush seem like years. Shelley, Karen's "big sister" friend, is badly injured and needs help herself. Stanley can't seem to knock off his clown act, even in an emergency. And Dave doesn't seem to notice that Karen's around. Then there's Ward, who looks as if he could be triggered into one of his black rages by anything at all. Suddenly it's Karen who has to handle everybody else's problems ... but who is there to care about her?

FIRST THREADFALL!
Sorka glanced over her shoulder, and terror lent strength to her arms as she urged the mare to greater efforts. They were nearly to the ledge, nearly to what little safety it offered from the hissing silver fall that splatted so ominously across the woods they had only just left. Sean forced Cricket under the ledge. Suddenly both horses ceased resisting their riders and began to press Sean and Sorka against the inner wall, whinnying in abject terror. Peering around the frightened horses' heads, Sean and Sorka could actually see the long, thin threads plunging into the water. On the shoreline, the thick clumps of tough bushes they had ridden through only moments before were no longer visible, covered by a writhing mass of "things" that seemed to enlarge as they watched.… Read More
