ABOUT THE BOOK

An original novel based on the podcast created by Mike Howorun and Brady Roberts!

For internet sleuths, nothing beats a firsthand account—especially when it’s your own. Desperate for tangible evidence of a shadow government, monstrous creatures, and a laboratory complex built deep beneath the Denver International Airport, Jessica wrangles a gaggle of like-minded armchair adventurers to break into the facility, seeking not only validation but vindication too.

Using the Escaping Denver podcast as a loose guide, this ragtag team discovers that it’s not breaking in that’s hard—it’s getting out.

His first novel, The Pull of the Earth, won the Colorado Book Award, and he’s the coauthor of the student-strategy textbook The Snarktastic Guide to College Success.
