Description: "As Chaite n sleeps, two microbiologists monitor the effects of global warming in the shadow of the long-dormant volcano. A celebrity scientist and his film crew arrive at the caldera to capture Chaite n's spectaculary scenery for a television audience. And a Nobel Prize-winning scientist sits in his apartment in Paris, monitoring data on fifty-six volcanoes around the world--waiting for the one sign that his diabolical plan is about to be put into motion. Soon, their destinies will converge, for Earth has become a pawn in the biggest gamble every played with humanity's future. And Chaite n is about to blow"--From publisher description.
