All of North America is covered in ash after the eruption in Yellowstone, and Colin Ferguson's family is scattered across the United States. With food running low and cities uninhabitable, can they hope to survive long enough for what's left of civilization to rebuild?

"The story continues. Don't think he's done yet with this but it was hard to tell. This book was poorly edited or proof read. It detracts from the story. Not sure why those errors were missed. Hope it does not continue in future volumes."
— David (4 out of 5 stars)
" couldn't being myself to keep reading the series. I just didn't care enough about the characters. and I wanted a more direct starring role for the volcano and consequences. ah well. "
— Mark, 1/3/2014" Harry Turtledove is one of my favorite authors... but this series? Concept is interesting and the characters are as well. But the novel? It is horrible. Repetitive and poorly written. I can't believe that Turtledove wrote this. "
— Autumn, 12/14/2013" A decent follow up to the first one in the series, Supervolcano : Eruption. Well written, but slow in places. Also the characters were sometimes annoying, but a good look at somewhat apocalypic america. (Once again, the rest of the world is mostly ignored. A common problem in american fiction) "
— Pete731, 12/3/2013" Exactly what I expected, and I already cannot wait for the next installment. I love the way turtledove tells a story. Change one thing and how will the world change? His books are always well worth the read. "
— Michael, 12/3/2013" I was torn between 2 and 3 stars for this book. I liked the first Supervolcano book well enough. And I enjoyed the follow up on the lives of the characters and the continuation of the story arc. BUT I really expected more science and climate- and extinction- based fiction to this, as well "
— Thomas, 11/30/2013" Possible life after a super-volcano explodes. People carry on. "
— Ron, 11/19/2013" Made it 70 pp. in and gave up. "
— Mark, 10/27/2013" It was OK -- not one of Harry Turtledove's best (and I think I've read most of his work!) "
— David, 8/3/2013" This was ok, and a decent picture of what today's world might be like if Yellowstone's super volcano blows its top, but I found the text too repetitive and without a good resolution. "
— Lorie, 4/10/2013" One of the few Turtledove stories I couldn't get into. I know something big is going to happen, but getting there was taking forever. "
— Kevin, 4/6/2013" Not as good as what I am used to from Turtledove - the first in this series was so-so, the second just a so. "
