In a matters of moments, fifteen year old Alex's life changes forever. A cataclysmic event occurs and life as he knows it is over. Yellowstone National Park's supervolcano has erupted, spewing ash hundred of thousands of miles away. Changing the face of earth, climate and humanity.

Mullin has created a page turner. That what if scenario of the eruption is well researched and this book will keep you up for hours.
