"THE CAVE" Bob and Megan are in love, and avid cave divers. To
celebrate their marriage, they decide to go cave diving with
friends to an unexplored underwater cave Bob discovered. But when a
fellow diver's prank turns into a tragic disaster, Bob, Megan, and
their best friend Sara find themselves lost in a nightmarish
network of underwater tunnels. With their air running out, they
wash up on the shores of an underground lake, where a tribe of
Neanderthals mistake their human visitors for gods. Escaping the
cave, the three friends discover a clan of early humans. And so
begins an epic quest for survival, in an untamed land where three
unprepared individuals have to confront their primal essence in
order to make it out alive. And a world in which they might not
survive. "THE CAVE" is packed in profound moral questions, romance,
murder, cannibalism, and time travel. It is an adventure tale that
will curl your toes, a heart-pounding nightmare of being the hunted
in an alien environment, and a courageous story of life, death,
desperation, and human triumph. ForeWordReview Three Stars (out of
Five) Jay Londo, the author of several novels, should be commended
for attempting an epic tale of desperation and triuph. His subject
matter covers such disparate topics as insurance fraud, romance,
cave diving, early human existence, hunting, and time travel. Londo
shows talent for developing and managing an extended plot that
covers many years and many miles. Andi Diehn "Bob and Megan feel

married, they believe that they are on the right path. But before
they move into their new home, they must go on more dives with
their friends. The vast, underwater cave that Bob discovered off
the West Coast a few days before they met is too tempting to leave
unexplored. Unexplored. Un fortunately, a fellow diver's prank
turns into a tragic disaster when Bob, Megan, and her best friend,
Sara, find themselves lost in an extensivenetwork of underwater
tunnels, rivers, and waterfalls. Luckily, before their air runs
out, theywash up on the shores of an underground lake, where after
some exploration, they find a tribe of Neanderthals who mistake
their humanvisitors for gods. And so begins thefriends' education
in savagery, early animal husbandry, and survival.
