About this audiobook

The New York Times bestselling author and "maven of alternate history" (San Diego Union-Tribune) presents a near-future thriller. A supervolcanic eruption in Yellowstone Park sends lava and mud flowing toward populated areas, and clouds of ash drifting across the country. The fallout destroys crops and livestock, clogs machinery, and makes cities uninhabitable. Those who survive find themselves caught in an apocalyptic catastrophe in which humanity has no choice but to rise from the ashes and recreate the world .

    Sequel in Turtledoves series about what happens when the supervolcano under Yellowstone erupts. We see the effect on the US from the perspective of one family, scattered around the country. A young woman gets out of a refugee camp in Kansas and makes it back to Los Angeles. A young man makes a new life in Maine (and manages to perpetrate a truly wicked Turtledovian pun), A young man in Los Angeles may be starting out as a writer. A young scholar moves from Los Angeles to frigid Nebraska. A police officer makes an astounding discovery in Los Angeles. All this in the face of a world becoming harsher and deadlier.

    I couldn't put the first book down, the second left a little to be desired but can be expected in a series. You may find you like following some characters over others and you will get a full picture of what life could be like when you read between the lines of the entertaining story. Turtledove mastery of weaving alt-hist. with story. I thought it was a little slow to get started due to his reintroduction of the characters, picked up in the middle and ended with me wanting to read the next book. Predictable toward the latter third you knew where he was going with the characters you just didn't know how he was going to get them there. Anxiously awaiting the third book to see how the story may end, completely hooked on this one.
