Escaping Yellowstone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986615297)

Deep in Yellowstone Park, near the Continental Divide, two scientists, Lisa, an astronomer, and Cody, a geologist, watch the sky hoping to see what Lisa has described as the biggest non-event in the history of asteroids passing by earth. But the science of tracking asteroids is not perfect. There are always unknowns. They say, "the devil is in the details." This devil is named Demon and it is on a collision course with Dark Angel, a large asteroid that has been predicted to skirt by the moon two days before Christmas. Young and stunning Lisa Wilson and handsomely rugged Cody Street are at the beginning of a romantic relationship and have brought their parents and siblings to Yellowstone Park to spend a Christmas holiday together at the snowbound Old Faithful Lodge. Travel, this time of year, is limited to snowmobile or snow taxi, and Cody has promised them the most memorable white Christmas ever. Months earlier, from the mountaintop Mauna Kea Observatories on the island of Hawaii, NASA scientist Dr. Lisa Wilson and her team closely track a group of asteroids heading toward earth. The best astronomers in NASA agree there is no danger to earth. The simulations show the asteroids will narrowly miss the moon. At the same time, three thousand miles away, USGS volcanologist, Dr. Cody Street is getting ready for another memorable summer at Yellowstone National Park. He is investigating unusual ground movement and unpredictable geyser activity. In an effort to understand the ebb and flow of the ground in the caldera, Cody determines the moon may be acting on the sea of magma under the Yellowstone Caldera, similar to the way it causes the tides in the oceans and he turns to Lisa for answers. Now, Lisa, Cody, and eleven others are trapped deep within the bowels of the Yellowstone Caldera without transportation, communication, and proper clothing to survive the artic temperatures. To make matters worse, the strange events in the heavens are causing violent volcanic activity within Yellowstone and around the world.
