The Ring of Fire is no longer erupting in isolated catastrophes.
It is accelerating.
Months after Alaska, Japan, and the American Southwest were torn apart by earthquakes, volcanoes, and collapsing coastlines, humanity is trying to build something from the wreckage. Along the ancient Laurentian Craton, Peter Groves is racing to create a vast sanctuary where millions may one day survive.
But time is running out.
Off Peru, an earthquake tears through the seafloor and sends a deadly tsunami racing toward shore. In Alaska, a dormant volcanic field begins ripping open beneath a blizzard-stricken island. Beneath San Francisco Bay, Sam Shore, Irina Toropova, Gogo Tan, and three dogs are trapped aboard a BART train as a major fault system ruptures, and the tunnel begins to fail.
And these disasters are only the beginning.
As Sam and Irina struggle to understand what is happening, one terrifying pattern the intervals between catastrophic events are shrinking.
Weeks have become days.
From the frozen wilderness of Alaska to the shattered coast of South America, survivors race against disasters moving faster than anyone predicted—while Peter and thousands of refugees fight to build a future before the old world disappears completely.
The planet is changing.
The safe places are vanishing.
Survival now depends on staying one step ahead of an Earth speeding toward something no one can stop.
