![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While there, she can tend to Elliott and protect the two boys. She takes them to where she lives- a shack evidently built by the survivors of a galleon which was sucked down the another of the giant voids like the Pore. They are saved by the intervention of Martha, a former renegade who was pushed down the Pore by her husband. While exploring tunnels, they are attacked by giant carnivorous creatures called spider-monkeys. ![]() With the help of Bartleby’s tracking ability, they discover that there is someone else down there with them. The task of moving through the passages with the burden of Elliott and their equipment is made easier thanks to the reduced gravity at this depth in the Earth. He and Chester carry the injured Elliott (who is unconcious and has a broken arm) with them as they set about exploring this alien and frightening world. Will then heads out onto the shelf to give Cal's body a burial of sorts. He pulls himself out and finds Will in a cave, moping over all the loss around him. The opening chapter describes how Chester Rawls is the first to regain consciousness on a fungal shelf deep down in the Pore where he, Will Burrows, Elliott and Bartleby have crash landed. It is preceded by Deeper and followed by Closer. Freefall is the third book in the Tunnels series, released in 2009. ![]()
