Hi there fellow hikers and runners:
So, yeah, this'll be weird, but some of you know I've done Skyline and C2C/ C2C2C many times and seen many of you up there. So, I wrote a science fiction book inspired by hiking in the area, the Barkley Marathons and genetic engineering. It's due out next month, but I'd love to get early readers and thoughts from other local hikers and enthusiasts. Anyway, the Amazon link is here:

And the book landing page is here:

Let me know any questions you have, and thanks for the support ... and for helping protect a great trail system.
