The Firecloud
ft-ball-fn avatar reviewed One of the world's largest volcanoes comes alive near Mexico City on + 33 more book reviews


From the back cover: A city writhes in agony as an ancient terror awakes... and then the earth moves. Cars run into one another, buildings crumble, and a searing roar of flame and ash rages across the landscape, heralding the onset of flowing lava--and the beginning of the end. And now, entangled in a frenzied race against disaster area: a Mexican general who must topple his own government to lead his people to safety; a young mother whose child has been stolen for a sacrifice by a pagan aztec cult; a beautiful New York reporter swept up in the mass exodus, and the scoop of a lifetime, and a CA geologist with a bizarre theory about volcanoes that could smother the molten horror--or unleash it on millions!

Note the site genre tags for this book are WRONG.. its not a children's book (read the description above).
