A cloud of volcanic ash has darkened the Northern Hemisphere. The U.S. faces the prospects of an endless winter, yet the world's leaders are paralyzed by apathy, avarice, and fear. Only geologist Ben Meade realizes the need for immediate action. With time running out, he devises a brilliant, desperate scheme to bring Earth's weather back into balance.
This book deserved a five!!! I have never read the first book but I feel I didn't need too. After finishing the book, I do see that this can become a Hollywood made movie. I'm not sure what Robert Morgan background is but there are some great military, political, scientific thoeries and senerios, in my opinion, are phenomenially well executed. After reading the 2nd chapter I was hooked. It showcased a dramatic scene about what a father would have to do in order for his family to survive. That scene was very intense. Later in the book, events that lead to a face-off between a female mayor and and angry mob had me on the edge of my seat. So much in this book keep my interest afloat, there were no boring elements at all!! This book from begining to end was excellent reading. In the future, I will definitely read more books by this author.
One of the few books that ever made me cry

Ok ok.. I know what you're thinking.. cheesy disaster book, science fiction, why is he crying? I thought at the center of all this disaster stuff there was a fantastic love lost story between the two people that were torn between responsibility and love. This is one of those books that just didn't have a chance, which is sad, because I really enjoyed myself while reading this
