    About this ebook

    "The Yellowstone Caldera." He raised his eyes, "Familiar with that?"
    "Yellowstone Park?" Sammy said.
    "Yes. Back in 1930 the Army did an exploratory survey of that area. What we came up with was that there was a section of the Rocky Mountains missing. Looked at from the top of Mount Washburn it was easy for the team to see that the largest crater of an extinct volcano known to exist lay before them."
    "I guess that's about what I thought," Sammy agreed.
    "Yeah. We all think that. Except it is not true at all because the Yellowstone caldera is not extinct, it is active. There have been several warnings," he shrugged. He clicked the button on his desk and the monitor came to life. "All the red areas are spots where the surface pressure has increased. There were, at one time, many active volcanoes on the north American continent." He clicked a button and the map changed to a view of the European continent with many of the same red shaded areas.
    "All over the Earth... Higher pressures. Up until a few days ago the brainiacs were still arguing over whether this could even happen." He laughed. "Call it the Earth's way of cleansing itself."
    "But it's not an absolute, right?"Sammy asked.
    "Don't start sounding like the scientists." He reached below his desk and came up with six small silver cartridges. Each had a red button mounted on the top with a protective cap over the button itself. He clicked a button on his desk, and a picture of destruction appeared on the screens. "That picture is an hour old. That is... Was, the Hawaiian chain."
    Sammy stared at the monitor. "How can that be, I mean everyone would know about it."
    Weston nodded. "And that would be true except the satellites are out, shut down to avoid damage. That is the official word." He clicked the button on his desk and the monitor went dead once more. "The Yellowstone caldera is going to erupt sometime in the next few days. Not a maybe, not an educated guess: It has already started. We have had a few small quakes, but the big stuff is on the way." He rolled the cartridges across the desktop; Sammy and John caught them.
    "Super volcanoes... Earthquakes that modern civilization has never seen... The last super eruption was responsible for killing off the human population some seventy-four thousand years ago: Reduced it to a few thousand. And that is not the biggest one we have evidence of." He paused in the silence.
