Acerca de esta escucha
A supervolcanic eruption in Yellowstone Park sends lava and mud flowing toward populated areas, and clouds of ash drifting across the country. The fallout destroys crops and livestock, clogs machinery, and makes cities uninhabitable. Those who survive find themselves caught in an apocalyptic catastrophe in which humanity has no choice but to rise from the ashes and recreate the world.

Historia
From "the master of alternate history" comes a new trilogy that reimagines a mid-20th century in which General MacArthur, without bothering to consult President Truman, detonates nuclear warheads in several Manchurian cities after China enters the Korean War. In his acclaimed novels of alternate history, Harry Turtledove has scrutinized the twisted soul of the 20th century, from the forces that set World War I in motion to the rise of fascism in the decades that followed.

What would happen if the ancient prophecy of the End of Days came true? It is certainly the last thing Eric Katz, a secular archaeologist from Los Angeles, expects during what should be a routine dig in Jerusalem. But perhaps higher forces have something else in mind when a sign presaging the rising of the Third Temple is located in America, a dirty bomb is detonated in downtown Tel Aviv, and events conspire to place a team of archaeologists in the tunnels deep under the Temple Mount.

Historia
Consider this other 1920: Imperial Germany has become the most powerful nation in the world. In 1914, she crushed England, France, and Russia in a war that was short but entirely devastating. By 1920, Kaiser Wilhelm II is looking for new lands to devour. The United States is fast becoming an economic super-power and the only nation that can conceivably threaten Germany. The U.S. is militarily inept, however, and is led by a sick and delusional president who wants to avoid war at any price.

In 1914, they called it The Great War, and few could imagine anything worse. For nearly three decades, a peace forged in blood and fatigue has held sway in North America. Now, Japan dominates the Pacific, the Russian Tsar rules Alaska, and England, under Winston Churchill, chafes for a return to its former glory. But behind the façade of world order, America is a bomb waiting to go off. Jake Featherston, the megalomaniacal leader of the Confederate States of America, is just the man to light the fuse.

Then his life is upended by grim-faced men from three-letter agencies who want him to join a top-secret "Project Azorian" in the middle of the north Pacific Ocean—and they really don't take "no" for an answer.

In April 1945, the Allies are charging toward Berlin from the west, the Russians from the east. For Hitler, the situation is hopeless. But at this turning point in history, another war is about to explode. To win World War II, the Allies dealt with the devil. Joseph Stalin helped FDR, Churchill, and Truman crush Hitler. But what if "Uncle Joe" had given in to his desire to possess Germany and all of Europe? In this stunning novel, Robert Conroy picks up the history of the war just as American troops cross the Elbe into Germany. Then Stalin slams them with the brute force of his enormous Soviet army.

The gigantic comet had slammed into Earth, forging earthquakes a thousand times too powerful to measure on the Richter scale, tidal waves thousands of feet high. Cities were turned into oceans; oceans turned into steam. It was the beginning of a new Ice Age and the end of civilization. But for the terrified men and women chance had saved, it was also the dawn of a new struggle for survival--a struggle more dangerous and challenging than any they had ever known....

Several years ago, an ARkStorm, a once-in-a-thousand-years flood event caused by a series of intense atmospheric rivers, flooded the Central Valley of California from Sacramento to what was once Los Angeles. The weight of the water was equivalent to the volume generated by the Mississippi River times 22. It challenged an already fragile seismic system consisting of hundreds of active faults.

A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

But that was centuries ago, and as everyone knows, its the nature of the great Glacier to withdraw a few feet every year. Trasamund, a clan chief of the mammoth-herding Bizogots, the next tribe north, has come to town with strange news. A narrow gap has opened in what they'd always thought was an endless and impregnable wall of ice.

Millions die in an instant, and millions more await the end as the looming catastrophe unfolds...Thousands of miles away from the disaster, a call comes in the middle of the night. Families act, and react, and while panic spreads, the world keeps on spinning. Maybe a little slower, and perhaps with a teeny bit more of a tilt, but such things are a mere trifle to the existence of a planet.

Say Goodbye to Yellowstone
Until I discovered this book was part of a series, my initial rating would have been much lower.
The story was so disjointed; The family that Is no more. Scenes jumping from character to character left me frustrated and unsatisfied. The hardest thing for me was that I really dislike all the characters except Collin and Kelly.
The story ends abruptly with no real resolution. Now that I know this is the first book in a trilogy, I think the things that bothered me will come together and make sense eventually. I will try book 2.

okay Story performed well
The reading was good, but the story was very slow in the beginning and towards the end as well. Would have thought more details on the eruption itself, based on the amount of time it went into details of each character. Story wasn't anything grand either. Probably wouldn't recommend this one to others.

Almost too much character development
This is really the story of a handful of people while they experience the onset and consequences of the volcano eruption. Typically, I would love the character development as it's a mile away from the "fight scene - dialogue - fight scene" standard trope of the typical apocalyptic fiction tale. However, this time, I actually found myself hitting the forward button repeatedly because it was dragging. He writes extremely well, especially within this particular genre but it feels like it needed some paring down.
Jim Frangione is wonderful. The narration was perfect.

You won't be disappointed, what a ride of a story.
This series stands out among the nearly 300 audiobooks I have enjoyed. The books are well-written, engaging, interesting, and compelling, and the characters have qualities that bind them to you. As the story unfolds you can't help but love most of the characters in a way that you feel yourself, or someone you know, in each of them. The ride that is this story isn't too slow, or too fast but keeps a nice pace with enough unforeseen twists to keep you wanting to listen more. I highly recommend this series and I know I will return in the future to listen again, it was that good.

The Real Turtledove is Back
To be fair, most reviewers have not liked this book much. I did. Turtledove's metier is character development, involving relatively ordinary (and not always even likeable) people trying to live ordinary lives against the background of bizarre events. The events themselves are rarely viewed in broad. Instead, we get short glimpses from many angles, reflected from shards of a fragmented mirror, as these events affect individual lives. In Supervolcano, Turtledove returns to this technique in a setting where, in its initial stages, humans are essentially powerless to do anything other than try to cling onto the remnants of normal life. Obviously, this isn't going to work, any more than it did in Niven/Pournelle's Lucifer's Hammer or Stirling's Dies the Light. But unlike the last named books, Supervolcano shows society crumbling in slow motion -- a great setting for Turtledove's brand of character novel.
I doubt this series will be as good as Turtledove's enormous set of CSA stories. Frankly, nothing else ever will be, from Turtledove or from anyone else. But this is a very promising start.

Kind of a dull suspense book
story line was weak, the description of what a volcano is was poor mostly just about personal adventures during an eruption that left much to be desired in completion of what was and finally happened to all of the main charracters esplecialy the killer that the cops was looking that was a real let down no ending no real investigation but I listened to it to the end and as a book that I could have done without it wasn't as bad as some that I've listened thru

Good performance. Poorly written
This is a pretty good audiobook on the performance side. But there is no way Turtledove actually wrote this. This appears to to have been written by an inferior author using the Turtledove name.

Not credit worthy, read worthy, or just worthy.
Would you try another book from Harry Turtledove and/or Jim Frangione?
When you download a book entitled
Would you ever listen to anything by Harry Turtledove again?
Never Nada
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
More energy, but reading this would be a challenge for any narrator...even Frank Muller in his prime.

First Audiobook I stopped listening to.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I thought the voice narration was horrible, the person reading paused way too much between sentences and after about 5 minutes of listening I wanted to reach into my headphones and put him along. There was no flow and the narration did not build excitement as it should have as the story progressed.
What do you think your next listen will be?
Something other than Turtledove, I have read one of his books and did not like it, I thougth that, this being something out of the normal arena of what he does might be a bit better, but it was actually a bit worse.
What didn???t you like about Jim Frangione???s performance?

Any additional comments?
Others may like this novel, but I would not recommend it. There was no flow to the story, no real excitement portrayed and the voice acting was not up to par with the 50+ other audiobooks that I have listened to. It was truly not an enjoyable experience. I stopped listening after the first half of the book, as I could not take it anymore.
