When the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it's up to six college students and their experimental physics project to prevent the end of civilization.

When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away.

Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet. The team has just hours to get as many people as possible across to Outland before a lethal cloud of ash overwhelms them.

Nothing has prepared the refugees for what they find - a world of few resources and unprecedented dangers. Somehow, they must learn to survive, because Outland may not just be a safe haven - it could be their new home.

Editor's Pick

We're (not) canceling the Apocalypse!
"When I was a child, my dad dispassionately told me that a shield volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park could erupt in our lifetime, spreading ash that would destroy life in the Midwest as we know it—and that this very shield volcano already caused geysers to spew boiling water hundreds of feet into the air! I was immediately enthralled. So much so, in fact, that we visited Yellowstone National Park the following year. Alas, upon arrival, I was heartbroken (and very confused) to learn that Old Faithful was "under construction." I mean... what?? How could the face of an apocalyptic force be subject to the same repair verbiage as a broken escalator? In my mind, the apocalypse had been canceled. Thankfully, Dennis E. Taylor is here to heal the geyser-sized hole in my inner child’s heart, for this same shield volcano serves as the cataclysmic basis for Outland’s riveting story. Throw in some inter-dimensional portals, hard sci-fi elements, and a new world—then add in Ray Porter’s effortless charisma as narrator—and you’ve got the perfect sci-fi listen for anyone who's ever had their childlike wonderment ruined by everyday pragmatism." —Sean T., Audible Editor

At first, I couldn’t make it past the first two hours. I found the plot slow. If you can get past the first two hours it ends up a fairly interesting story.

Started Slow but Good story

Seeing a lot of similar characters and writing styles from the Bobiverse series, and it’s exactly what I wanted. It’s techy, funny and has the sort of plot movements I’ve come to love from Dennis E Taylor.

Can’t wait for the next one!

Very compelling story. I immediately searched for the sequel when I finished it. I can't wait to read it.

Awsome

This is a story about college students developing something akin to a Stargate, but to alternate earth's. The Yellowstone volcano erupts in the largest eruption the Earth has seen. The group, plus several hundred people from University of Nebraska Lincoln escape through the gate to an alternative Earth, apparently still in the pleistocene period. It is easy to read or listen to and moves fairly rapidly. Given the breezy style and the holding over of a number of matters or problems that would be faced if such a situation actually occurred, it might be targeted to a YA audience. It was entertaining enough that I plan to read a sequel, if one is written.

Nice post apocalyptic story
