THE YELLOWSTONE TRAPS

​

The ultimate mega-disaster novel, yes, but The Yellowstone Traps also opens a window onto a radically new social paradigm developed and put in practice by post-globalization pioneers building a totally self-sufficient intentional community in western Minnesota they call Independency. The unusual living arrangement proves crucial to the survival of citizens living through geological hell on earth.

 

Based on the latest scientific data, the novel reveals to the reader what could happen on the North American continent if the 1,500-square mile caldera within Yellowstone National Park were to super-erupt today, as it has two dozen times over the past 15 million years.
