When the earthquake struck in the Russian far north TPR was standing directly on the fault line above a seam of white marble. He fell several thousand feet into the enormous crevice. I was sure that I would never see him again.

In the event, TPR survived the fall. We knew this from the 200+ texts that he sent us from below the earth’s surface.

Now it would be a race against time to find and rescue him. He would not survive long underground on his meagre fat reserves.
