According to the book description of
The Cave, it “tells the story of Samuel Tobin Carter, a twenty-year-old US Air Force C-130
crewmember who is shot down while on a classified mission over Laos in 1966. A Tennessee native with long experience and curiosity
about caves, Carter knows that Laos is a "karst region," an area characterized by limestone at the surface and honeycombed
with caves. Immediately after his shoot-down, he sets out to find a cave in which to hide. Carter not only finds the cave,
he finds more – the means by which to wage his own personal war against the North Vietnamese, particularly the antiaircraft
gunners who had shot him down. The authors borrows from his own experiences as an enlisted C-130 aircrew member during the
Vietnam War and the many happy hours he spent later in his life exploring the vast underground world of northeastern Kentucky.”

One reader of The Cave,
said, “Being a former C-130 B/E Loadmaster, The Cave brought back many memories. I would highly recommend this book
for former Loadmasters, Air Force and general military enthusiast. It was great reading. I had a trip to Minneapolis and read
the book during the trip. I did not want to put the book down, because I wanted to see what was in the next chapter. Sam,
keep up the good work, you do have the gift.”
