About This Audiobook

When the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it’s up to six college students and their experimental physics project to prevent the end of civilization.

When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland – an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away.

Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet. The team has just hours to get as many people as possible across to Outland before a lethal cloud of ash overwhelms them.

Nothing has prepared the refugees for what they find – a world of few resources and unprecedented dangers. Somehow, they must learn to survive, because Outland may not just be a safe haven – it could be their new home.

Suspend disbelief and enjoy

Based on the publication date, I thought this novel was written after the first Bobiverse book. But based on some of the references in Outland, it felt like it was written earlier. I think Outland was written before Bob, then republished with a later date. So be prepared for some…

★★★★☆

Not Quite Bobiverse but a Decent Read

This was not the best book ever written, but it was good enough. I think you could say tat the first half was passable and the second half was better, which is a good thing. I feel like I left this book feeling better about it than I did when…

Love Love Love this book!

I found this book on a recommendation page when I was looking for any books written along the line of the canceled TV show Terra Nova. I am so happy I ran across that page because this book is fantastic. Very imaginative and extremely well written. Characters are well fleshed…

– Jodie Campbell

★★★★☆

Funny and entertaining, while also offering an interesting look at other, non-improbable realities

Fun characters. I would have liked a little more development of them. Delving a little more deeply into at least a few of the main four/five. I think perhaps Monica was the most well rounded out (no pun initially intended), which is maybe a bit surprising since she's the last…

great story

I’m glad that I found a new to me author. The story was very engaging. There were two parallel tracks until midway in the book. The characters were interesting. I’m looking forward to book two. Highly recommended.
