Mammoth

A Disaster Thriller

By: Bobby Akart

Narrated by: Andrew Wehrlen

California is a state shaped by its explosive past.In recent years, the state's been flooded and then ripped apart by tremors.

Now, the Earth's crust is heaving like the chest of a gasping beast. The ground has grown restless around Mammoth Mountain as the world waits. Will the fire-breathing beast relieve the pressure?

A stand-alone disaster thriller from international best-selling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, who delivers up-all-night thrillers to listeners in 245 countries and territories worldwide.

California had experienced back-to-back catastrophic events. First, an ARkStorm, a thousand-year flood event, led to another catastrophic event, a series of earthquakes causing the rupture of the famous San Andreas fault.

USGS geophysicist, Mac Atwood, and volcanologist, Taylor Reed, survived being swallowed by the Earth during the earthquake swarm. They returned to the ordinarily peaceful and serene environs surrounding Mammoth Mountain and the Long Valley Caldera. When a series of seemingly minor earthquakes take place in the Sierra Nevadas, Mac the seismic detective, expresses his concern to Taylor. Her skills as a volcanologist will be tested as it appears the Long Valley Caldera, the second largest supervolcano in the U.S. behind Yellowstone, is awakening.

Mac and Taylor lived through the devastation wrought by the earthquakes at San Andreas. They proved earthquakes have the ability to transfer between faults. They believed the complicated geology beneath California had changed after the ARkStorm. Now, they believe the geologic formations surrounding Mammoth Mountain and the Long Valley Caldera have been fundamentally changed. For the worst.

The ARkStorm had been dubbed the Other Big One and a San Andreas earthquake was known as the Big One. The eruption of the Long Valley Caldera would be more than a flood or knocked down buildings. It could result in the end of the world as we know it.

Main characters

Loved the main characters. Narrator was ok but used a clipped flow which didn’t seem to match the flow of the story.

I really like this Author. Again he keeps me captivated.

The book it's self is good. However the person who is telling the story is really disappointing. He gets quiet then moves away from the microphone so it is hard to hear.

Great story

I loved the book, but the reader read to fast for me. I had a hard time following the story.

Fantastic!

I loved this book. I am sad, as I always am, to say goodbye to some of my favorite characters. You knows a book is really good and the characters are like family, when you think about them after you have listened to the last word of the book or read the last page.
Bobby Akart weaves word pictures that make you feel as though you are right there in the story.
Thank God he uses his wonderful gift of writing, so we can take a break from life and jump into the most riveting stories.

Loved

I loved this book by Bobby Akart. I also loved the characters. I can’t wait for the next book by this author. I would recommend this book and all of Bobby’s books. I listened to this book on audiobook.

The most important aspect is the way the people are developed

Like the drama of the day that was just about to end for everyone forever

Mammoth

I have read MANY of Akart's books - he is incredible -- suspenseful - seems well researched - and very entertaining. Keep writing...

A tale of seismic suspense!

Great series

Great read! Loving this series but need to go back and listen to the first one. Each one does stand alone though there are reoccurring characters.
I don’t think I’ll ever even visit California after these books!
Narration by Andrew was amazing as always!

Hope this one remains fiction

Bobby has done it again. Be prepared for mother nature...as we know...the Govt takes forever to send help. Sound familiar?
