The world’s largest volcano does not reside beneath Hawaii’s mountains, or in Washington state, but Yellowstone National Park. Past eruptions have darkened our continent and covered it with a blanket of ash that smothered both plant and animal life. Now the supervolcano, with its earthquakes and geysers, is monitored on a daily basis for signs of the beast reawakening.
As a terrified child, geologist Kyle Stone watched her family die in the 1959 Hebgen Lake Earthquake near Yellowstone. Fighting a lifetime of fears, she is one of the scientists with a finger on Yellowstone’s pulse. When a new hot spring appears overnight in the park and a noted naturalist is scalded to death, Kyle mounts an expedition into the Yellowstone backcountry to unravel the mystery. Accompanying her are Ranger Wyatt Ellison, former student and friend, and Dr. Nicholas Darden, volcanologist and former lover. More than just a volcano is heating up.
Amid personal conflict, earthquakes uprooting the land, and poison gases killing wildlife, Kyle finds herself in the unenviable position of convincing park officials to evacuate Yellowstone before tens of thousands of people die. As the earth shudders, Kyle must also choose between past and present, and defeat her darkest terror simply to survive.

Chapter One
September 10
Salt Lake City
In the basement hallway of the Utah Institute, Dr. Kyle Stone opened a door and stared into blackness. It was only ten feet to the seismograph lab's light switch, but darkness took her back.
With clammy palms, she contemplated. Go watch coffee brew and wait for another early riser? Easy enough, but if she tried it too often someone might figure out she was afraid. Poised on the threshold, she heard from within the unmistakable scratch of a match. In the room's depths, a single point of light flared.
"Somebody there?" The raspy voice of Institute Director Stanton Jameson and the rose circlet of his cigarette reassured her.
Nearly thirty years ago, when Kyle arrived at Utah with all her possessions crammed into a rusting Pinto, Professor Stanton had been a lifesaver. His answer to her query about student housing had been to phone his wife to make up their guest room. Four years later, when Kyle completed her Ph.D., she was still boarding in their home.
"Who is that?" This time something querulous in Stanton's tone alarmed her.
With three long strides, she reached the light switch.
Flooded with fluorescence, the Institute's nerve center lay revealed. Triple banks of seismographs tracked Earth's pulse, their pens tracing a record of crustal motion at remote stations all over the Mountain West. In this day of computers, there was something satisfying about the old-fashioned drum with a strip chart tracing.
Inhaling the familiar ink smell, Kyle checked out the data for Yellowstone Park and nearby Heb
