Loads of fun, but a bit silly. If you're running around telling people Yellowstone's going to explode and the world will end when it does, why hang around to watch it? Surely your expertise could be better utilized elsewhere, especially if you're the only one that the President believes?

At least the main "hero" isn't a Navy Seal or a hardcore prepper- there was a refreshing lack of weapons and paranoia and rape. I have a feeling that there's a major logic gap coming up- after so much time devoted to the truth that a Supervolcano could end life for almost everyone, I have a feeling that (most) of the main characters will survive.

Good fun though :-)

This pre-apocalyptic tale has plenty of facts sprinkled throughout the great personal stories of the main characters. I enjoyed very much and am looking forward to reading book 2 in this series, Yellowstone. I highly recommend it and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Edit 11/25/18: I change my review to one star. This author is a jerk.

Title: Yellowstone: Hellfire

Author: Bobby Akart

Publication Date: Aug 2018

Genre: Post-apocalyptic

Score: 3/5

A journeyman effort in post-apocalyptic fiction. There weren’t any grammatical errors. The author is a… libertarian? Maybe a right-winger? There is a glowing portrayal of Trump included. It made me laugh. I guess the joke’s on me though because I finished the book (and purchased it.) The libertarian elements are noticeable but not over the top.

It’s about Yellowstone erupting. There’s a Cassandra scientist and the rugged man who carves a place out in his heart for her. It appears to be decently researched with regards to supervolcanos.

I would give this a solid 2.5/5. I would recommend it to anyone who likes the very small subgenre of supervolcano post-apocalyptic fiction.
