Yellowstone

Nearly 640,000 years ago, Yellowstone caldera erupted catastrophically, burying one third of the contiguous United States under hundreds of millions of tons of volcanic ash. Global temperatures fell drastically. Extinctions followed on every continent.

Life on Earth changed forever then. Yellowstone is rumbling now.

Yellowstone, the novel, is a harrowing journey through a world besieged by a monstrous super-eruption of the planet's largest volcanic structure. The global economic mono-system that sustains us all teeters on the brink of collapse. Who will survive the barbarism, deprivation, and famine spawned by the Yellowstone mega-disaster?

Join citizens of a self-sufficient, sustainable New Age community -- Independency, Minnesota -- as the colony's residents endure hellish struggles against torrents of volcanic ash, against starving people who steal and kill for food, against National Guard troops sent to empty bulk grain storage silos and ship grain to desperate eastern cities, and against record-breaking volcanic-winter cold.

Enter Yellowstone National Park as it tears itself apart. Bear witness as day turns to night under clouds of smothering dust. And walk in the shoes of self-reliant techno-agrarian pioneers as they forge a new economic paradigm to replace the old. Dedicated to a hands-on lifestyle of local food, goods, and energy production, they find they may have the only avenue open to surviving the Yellowstone cataclysm.
