Yellowstone: Pressure Point

by John Pritchett

A ticking time bomb lies beneath Yellowstone… and humanity just lit the fuse.

Dr. Emily Carter has dedicated her life to studying supervolcanoes, but when her controversial plan to harness Yellowstone’s geothermal energy is greenlit, she never expects to become the catalyst for one of the greatest natural disasters in human history. What starts as a groundbreaking scientific endeavor quickly spirals into a high-stakes race against time when seismic activity escalates beyond control.

As ominous tremors shake the earth and geysers erupt unpredictably, Emily and her skeptical colleague, Jake Thompson, realize they may have pushed too far. When the inevitable happens—a catastrophic eruption that could plunge the world into volcanic winter—Emily and a small group of survivors must navigate a scorched, crumbling landscape where every step could be their last.

The earth is breaking. The sky is burning. The world is changing forever.

In a desperate bid to stop the devastation, Emily must make the ultimate sacrifice before the entire continent is lost to fire and ash. Will science be the key to survival, or has humanity sealed its own fate?

Yellowstone Pressure Point is a pulse-pounding science thriller packed with non-stop action, cutting-edge geoscience, and a gripping survival story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, and thrillers like Dante’s Peak and The Day After Tomorrow.
