The author has painted a realistic portrayal, with excellent pacing, of the very likely events, taken step-by-step, that will transpire in the face of a catastrophic volcanic eruption of Mt. Rainier in the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan areas and beyond. Attention to detail has been given to the very real, and possible, dangers as it relates to a whole host of different characters, including governmental, tribal, military, emergency management operators, and everyday citizens. The problems they will face during a live volcanic eruption of Rainier, and how people might deal with them as a result, are highlighted and explained. The author, Thomas P. Hopp shares his geologic knowledge and research from a whole host of credible sources and deftly places them into this fictionalized account of "what if". Highly recommended especially for anyone living in the Pacific Northwest, what we may have to face during our lifetimes, and what we may be able to do to mitigate and deal with the impending disaster.
