Description
The Yellowstone Caldera has erupted once every 600,000 years. We’re 40,000 years overdue.
A LAND OF ASH
Lava flows stretch for hundreds of miles. A cloud of ash billows east, burying the Midwest, destroying crops, and falling upon the Pacific Coast like a warm, dead snow. The remnants of the United States flees south as the global temperatures plummet.
Amid this total devastation are stories of families, friends, sons and fathers and wives: the survivors. Within are eleven stories focusing on the human element of such a catastrophe, from an elderly couple gathering to await their death to a father sealing his shelter in hopes of keeping the air breathable for his daughter. Contributing to this collection include many popular and up-and-coming independent authors, including David McAfee, Daniel Arenson, and more.
Reviews
Lousy research
1By EJJ372The writing is good, but the writers should have learned something about volcanoes and eruptions before writing about them. Really disappointing. I quit reading halfway through because some of the stuff (like the super heavy ash) was too silly.Awesome!.
5By ShadowOfValueInteresting book, I wish there was more!.Not my style
1By JackpresI'm sorry I just didnt like the book, it's not my style, I love the half Orc seriesNice!
5By alice3878A series of easy to read short stories depicting different scenarios during which people of different ages, beliefs and nationalities strive to try to overcome the situation at hand (which is the only constant of the whole book). Very interesting way of learning a bit about human nature. Quick read and recommended!Fantastic
