After watching the probable disturbing future disaster on an enormous scale on the Nat Geo channel, and the even more disturbing time frame (we are way overdue for this WHEN not IF scenario) of the inevitable eruption of the great Yellowstone Caldera, this book is especially frightening. This is a true disaster doomed to come true. This part one sequel to the titled book is starting to get interesting! The title book was good, but was a bit too educationally wordy. But now I see why. It's was setting us up for the terrible consequences being endured by these multi-groups of characters played out in several different perspectives at once. Brilliant writing to pull off the scene to scene changes by the author so smoothly without losing the the reader in a bunch of rapid fire events taking place in an ever expanding cataclysm. I've already bought the next one, and will pick up the last in this three part sequel in July. There is no way to review this by any normal character flow. I'll just have to overview by saying that there are several groups of people on the run from an unprecedented United States real time catastrophe. And the Government that is, for a change, NOT the nefarious enemy, but a Government that is hell bent on doing everything possible in a situation that is "Kobiashi Maru" ...unsolvable conundrum. Good read. Terrifying in its plausibility;according to the geological  patterns, a probability.
