Great read with an action plot.  What happens when the warrior can no longer be a warrior?  Penn was injured in an earlier book and has not made a full recovery.  He is still shattered at not fighting with his fellow Paladins.  But when Devlin gets a mysterious call for help in Yellowstone, he asks Penn to go and meet with the unknown caller.The caller turns out to be a female Kalith geologist whose parents bought their way into this world when she was an infant. She has very bad news - activities from people on the Kalith side of the Barrier seem to be creating an imbalance which would trigger an explosion of the Yellowstone super volcano [definitely the end of life as we know it].  The story consists of them researching the problems, ducking bad guys, fighting bad guys, and getting over their prejudices.Larem and Baraq, Kalithan friends from Seattle who have their own books, have cameos. Their friendship has prepared Penn to accept his heroine.  Jora, on the other hand, was raised by her Kalithan parents on stories of the Paladin boogeymen...The Paladins1. Dark Protector2.
