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. |

"Rain
Of Fire by Linda Jacobs is exciting, poignant,
and puts you on the edge of your seat, which is why it is
my honor to award Rain Of Fire a
Perfect 10. Run out and pick up your copies of Rain
Of Fire and Summer Of Fire today;
you won't be disappointed." "In Rain
Of Fire, Linda Jacobs has created a thrilling
vision of what it's like to be in the crater of an active
volcano. Fast-paced, yet with touchingly human characters, Rain
Of Fire is a page-turner of the first magnitude."
FOUR
STARS! "Rain
Of Fire is an exciting thriller that grips
the audience with the tremors that threaten Yellowstone
at a time when there seems to be an increase of major natural
disasters. The story line is action-packed but driven by
the rivalry between Hollis and Kyle in which he behaves
totally unprofessional while she is absolutely dedicated.
The romantic triangle is deftly handled, but the tale is
more a cautionary thriller warning people about the potential
of natural disaster in a place where most people fail to
realize the danger."
