About this listen

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.

Another brilliant novel by Dennis E. Taylor. The story is unique and engaging. The characters are likable, smart and funny. I loved every second of it.

Outstanding

Apart from some rather blood thirsty (and thus unattractive) characters (I agree with Richard) and poorly drawn villains, this managed to reel me in and force me to listen far beyond my bed time. What a grim idea of post apocalyptic world though I admit it is probably more realistic of my fantasy. Also apart from a vague sadness at lost families and friends, the Outland society really did manage to adjust quite readily to their new reality. I imagine everyone would be more traumatised knowing the desolation left behind even if it took a few days to properly sink in.

I purchased because I knew the narrator, i do a lot of long distance driving and this got me there n back, story was fun and I'm happy I bought it, will buy another, not gripping but fair value for money, Monica saved the character mix and plot.

I enjoyed this, it was a little slow to start off and I felt that it ended a little abruptly, but otherwise good.
