Book Description
Trails 2: Volcano Pair 1, Book 2 Oceans heave as the Ring of Fire bursts with increased activity. Continental plates shift, rip apart, and bounce against each other. Amber and Alex assist rescue and relocation efforts, while searching for missing friends and family members. Power plants shut down after the electric grid crashed with little hope of repair.

Desperate men roam the streets of the towns where most have evacuated. As communities melt apart as societal walls rise. Men, women, and cultures clash as if they had never learned to live together in peace. Together, the survivors must build a future in a tangled environment of fear, hunger, cold, and desolation.
