The Dragons of Sheol

Albert Gleeson, his pregnant wife Pam, and his young stepson are struggling to adjust to their life on an acreage in Georgia after their return back to our world. One day, when Al returns home from a long day at the college where he teaches, he finds his home ransacked and his family kidnapped. Police initially suspect him of foul play. When he is finally cleared, with the help of his friends, Al pursues the kidnappers to Abaddon, a continent whose main land surface is ten kilometers below sea level. Their search eventually forces them to cross an even deeper abyss called Sheol. In Sheol the air pressure is so high that large creatures like dragons are able to fly. Fighting frustration and despair at his inability to locate Pam and his stepson, Al begins to understand he has a role to play in rescuing the enslaved prisoners of Abaddon.
