The Yellowstone Caldera finally goes boom. Okay, the first book The Yellowstone Conundrum, read almost like a documentary; pictures, locations, etc. etc. But it had a terrifying, VERY real scenario playing out after the Caldera finally blows. The characters are living a nightmare as the country suffers nuclear plants shutting down, old toxic waste exploding and swirling up into the massive cloud of ash that will circle the globe. but the book was a little too long on the documentary and not enough interaction with the survivors.the first sequal though began to gain speed. The mighty Colorado river system is breaking dams, gaining speed. flooding on unprecedented scale threatens to split the country in twain...The survivors start to "self evacuate" ....which is government speak for "sorry. can't help you. You're on your own." pretty exciting stuff.And now the second sequal. Sigh. All I can say is: where is the author going with this!!!? between bouts of docudrama, the weird explicit sex is starting to lose me here. It would be okay if it was a bit smoother,,? Or, more one way or the other. I understand the urge to have a desperate-its-the-end-of-the-world....er...fling. But this is just nasty. And disconnected. hard to read. not a page Turner.
