Synopsis

One of the greatest threats to mankind's existence has become a reality. The Yellowstone Caldera erupts with a force of a thousand nuclear warheads, expelling seven hundred cubic miles of ash and rock all at once into the sky. And it's not finished . . .

When Marty and her brother, Ben, relocate with their family from Los Angeles to a small town in Nebraska, the transition isn't easy. Because they are in high school, their mother believes sending them away for a week to camp might help them make friends.

Marty reluctantly agrees and they go to the camp in Wyoming.

They are there only a couple of days when the eruption happens.

At the edge of the kill zone with no communication or evacuation help in sight, Marty and Ben have no choice but to leave if they want to survive.

On foot, they begin the long journey that will take them across the ash strewn countryside flooded with desperate survivors and dangerous conditions.

With temperatures plummeting and another eruption looming, can they make it to safety in time? If, of course, a safe place even exists.

The Red Coat Started this book thinking I would read a couple of chapters and go to sleep. No such luck. Just finished it. Jacqueline Druga is a great storyteller.

This author was recommended to me by my battle-buddy, military pilot-turned author Mike Slavin. And I am so glad hbe did. This is a truly unique apocalyptic action thriller.

Goodreads review by Pam on March 13, 2022

This was nice standalone book, just a bit on the young adult side, since it is written from the POV of a teenage girl. Only a few minor editing issues ("hack of a trauma" instead of heck). There are other books that will delve into the science and broader impact of a Yellowstone eruption; this one i......more
