4.0

A dystopian thriller. This book chronicles the emergency preparedness of o Iceland during a significant geologic event-earthquake and volcano- and its effect on the pic of a scientist and her family. Written in first person, it is a bit difficult to follow who is speaking but the characters are fairly well developed.
