Synopsis

Deep beneath Wyoming lies a world no one knows exists. George Lancaster has spent more than twenty years exploring caves around the world. Experienced, curious, and accustomed to the dangers of the underground, he knows when conditions are telling him to turn back. But this time, curiosity wins. While exploring an unfamiliar Wyoming cave, George follows a mysterious light deeper underground. A sudden fall sends him plunging into freezing water, and what should have been another expedition becomes a fight for survival. When George finally reaches safety, he discovers something impossible. Hidden beneath the surface is Repoobos, a remarkable subterranean civilization populated by people unlike anyone he has ever encountered. They have their own customs, measurements, technology, economy, and way of life and George soon learns that their peaceful-looking world is far more complicated than it first appears. Beyond Repoobos lies Democlos, a neighboring society divided from it by generations of disagreement. As tensions between the two communities intensify, George is drawn into disputes over development, resources, government, personal responsibility, and the very different ideas each society holds about how people should live. What began as a cave exploration has become an extraordinary encounter with an unknown world, and George may have a much larger role in its future than he ever expected. My Encounter with the People of Repoobos is an imaginative underground world adventure blending exploration, speculative fiction, social commentary, humor, conflict, and the discovery of a hidden civilization. For readers who enjoy mysterious lost worlds, unconventional societies, cave adventures, and thought provoking speculative fiction, Barry Nadler offers a journey into a civilization hidden just beneath our feet.
