What if you fell from a great height...toward a ground you couldn't see...and hours later you were still falling? For survival, for love—on a mysterious planet light years from home. With the man of her dreams unconscious in her arms, astronaut Kate Borrowdale must escape the treacherous peaks of Kratos and traverse a strange, hidden world beneath the clouds.

The Elemental Crossing

'The Elemental Crossing' is the exciting sequel to Robert Appleton's 'The Eleven-Hour Fall'. After their hard-won escape from the mountain peaks and many perils of the desert, Kate and Jason are faced with their most difficult challenge yet on Kratos: crossing a vast ocean on nothing but an improvised raft. Their relationship grows as hope dwindles. Procuring food, water and a safe course across stretches their survival expertise to its limits. Despite help from an unexpected ally, what else lurks beneath the surface of this alien sea? Intimate character reflections weave through the epic scale of this second installment in the thrilling romantic survival series.

Kate of Kratos

The final installment in Robert Appleton's sci-fi survival trilogy. Jason Remington has been abducted by a monstrous creature. Having barely survived the ocean crossing, Kate Borrowdale must track him through an alien forest and over its low gravity roof. She finds him alive, but he is not alone. Two men and a woman, also survivors from the Fair Monique's crash, have rescued him and killed the creature. How? Kate senses they're hiding a secret and doesn't trust them. Things look up when she finds a mountain cave for them all to live in. But procuring food proves tricky, as it means venturing back into the heart of the forest, where Kate and Jason find themselves being stalked...by the real inhabitants.
