The Yellowstone Event #6
The Aftermath
Yellowstone has erupted. Most of Wyoming is gone. A total of seven states have had their landscapes changed forever. A smoking hole in the ground covers thousands of square miles. The destruction stretches into southern Canada, and every one of the lower forty eight United States is touched in some manner. Millions of tons of poison volcanic ash are pumped into the air, where most of it floats back to earth to contaminate farmland and fresh water for years to come. The great Alaskan migration begins. So does the great boatlift as hundreds of thousands of terrified Americans find new homes overseas. No one, from sea to shining sea, is left untouched. And the worst is yet to come. For this is a disaster which will take millions of lives and decades to overcome.

The explosions, the lava and everything else calms down but not until some characters from past novels die. The theme of this, book 6 in the series, is survivors trying to survive and the nation trying to deal with what has happened.
This includes figuring out where refugees can be sent and what can be done what they get there. There are also some people which are incredibly helpful although they are terribly outnumbered by people who are self-serving and only think of how much money they can make off this disaster. This includes a whole lot of the people in the government itself.
(It's clear the author doesn't think highly of many of the politicians we have and I totally agree with him. The corruption, the lying, the cheating and old adage 'he who has the gold makes the rules' really seems to apply to what Washington D.C. has become.)
The book also covers where some refugees are not being allowed to go.
It's a good addition to the series.

The eruption has happened but the danger is not over. A significant fraction of the US is gone. Ash blankets much of the US and continues to fall for some time.
Some good government officials actually do something good for once. It's one of those continuing tics that the government and people in general get completely divided into good or bad, with some exceptions.
The focus on the book is resettling in Alaska and the overwhelming bureaucratic process, while Jenn and her kids try to find out what happened to Darrell and Rocki, who were last seen heading to Yellowstone.
Not everyone's fate has been revealed so far. One can surmise what happened to the Rogers family and Mamie Sellers, but the rest are less obvious. It'll be interesting to see how the country continues to redevelop after this.

This was a good tale that got lost in a forest of repetitive political rhetoric.
In book one the political comment served to set the scene.
By book 6 it had taken over.
Other facets of the story were also victims of endless repetition, sometimes more than once on one page!
Really, the whole story could have been told in one good book
I've given up at the end of book 6

Starting Over
This book has been very interesting. I am looking forward to the next one in this series. This book makes you wonder, what would l do if this actually happened?

Disappointed
Spoiler here. Why in the world would the author kill off Dave and Julianna. After I read that I stopped reading this book.
