description: Day after day we hear from our scientists about global disasters which have repeatedly occurred in the past. Asteroid strikes and volcanic eruptions have reshaped the Earth, exterminating large numbers of species and bringing about drastic changes in climate. What would it mean for mankind if a volcanic eruption raised a doomsday cloud of dust, blocking out the warmth of the sun and precipitating a “mini-Ice Age”? The book has been kept, to the greatest degree possible, consistent with fact and probability. The two-year winter that such an eruption could easily cause would prevent the growing of crops in the world’s vital grain belts. The loss of two years of grain crops would mean starvation for virtually all the Earth’s six billion people. What would the survivors experience? This novel describes one possibility in the form of a colorful adventure story.
