Extinction Event is a decent book which could use a bit more work.  This is a LONG book and would have benefitted a lot by being edited down to about half the size, several points were mentioned over and over again, just adding to the page and word count with no real value on their own.  Also, there is A LOT of frenetic activity happening with these characters in just a short period of time.  Now, they are under a time crunch, Helen has discovered that the Yellowstone volcano is due to erupt any time...and no one in a position of authority will act on her advice.  But, she, and a fellow nature lover she meets at Yellowstone, believes disaster is coming and they flee to South Africa to avoid the crisis where with foreknowledge of the event and apparently unlimited resources set about creating a place for civilization to survive.  All in all, it's an ok book, if you like disaster novels, get this one if the price is right for you.  Just don't expect TOO much....
