The Yellowstone supervolcano nearly wiped out the human race. Now, almost a year after the eruption, the survivors seem determined to finish the job. Communities wage war on each other, gangs of cannibals roam the countryside, and what little government survived the eruption has collapsed completely. The ham radio has gone silent. Sickness, cold, and starvation are the survivors' constant companions.
When it becomes apparent that their home is no longer safe and adults are not facing the stark realities, Alex and Darla must create a community that can survive the ongoing disaster, an almost impossible task requiring even more guts and more smarts than ever — and unthinkable sacrifice. If they fail . . . they, their loved ones, and the few remaining survivors will perish.
This epic finale has the heart of Ashfall, the action of Ashen Winter, and a depth all its own, examining questions of responsibility and bravery, civilization and society, illuminated by the story of an unshakable love that transcends a post-apocalyptic world and even life itself.
I love survival, end-of-the world type stories. I have one of these books, I just need to read it. Thanks for sharing, Carina! :)
ReplyDeleteI was kind of expecting the hands to be on the side of the cover, so it's nice they switched it to something less predictable :D
ReplyDeleteDying, dying, dying for this book!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like my books in a series to match too! I agree it is slightly different to the previous covers, but I like it! Thanks for sharing Carina! :)
ReplyDeleteWell that was an easy contest to enter! Thanks! I haven't read any of these books- but I have always found the Yellowstone super volcanoes to be fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

If you like natural disaster books, this is definitely one I recommend picking up. I also loved how in the authors notes, Mike Mullin talked about the facts behind the supervolcano. Very interesting to read!
