It would explode with a force a thousand times more powerful than the Mount St Helens eruption in 1980. The world's largest super-volcano located underneath the United States' Yellowstone National Park is set to blow. (Actual report from The UK's Daily Mail)*A scientist on a suicide mission...*A Faustian bargain with a mysterious life form...*A brain damaged boy is biologically re-engineered...*A ghostly shaman bearing visions of disaster...*A rash of murderous behavior in two small towns...*A cavern concealing clandestine maneuvers...*A vast, deep reservoir of fiery molten rock threatening the heart of North America...When biological psychologist Tom Havyn sets out to kill himself at his recently inherited ranch near the small berg of Glensford, Idaho, he unwittingly puts humanity on a trajectory to disaster. Blaming himself for his son Travis's massive brain trauma, Havyn makes a Faustian bargain with an exotic stranger who possesses the technology to repair and even enhance the damaged tissue. Moreover, the new traits could be passed on, making Travis the key to a breathtaking leap in human evolution.Soon, Havyn finds himself acting as a Judas goat for an antigovernment paramilitary organization. His newfound ability to predict disaster turns him into a modern day messiah who draws thousands of followers into a trap set by the paramilitary group with plans to use them as carriers for a highly infectious designer virus. Simultaneously, the group adulterates the U.S. food supply.Converging events, including earthquakes, random killings, and food shortages create a nationwide panic of monumental proportions. Lost in the maelstrom is the fact that an extinction level event looms in the background. The vast, deep reservoir of fiery, molten rock that feeds cyclical cataclysmic eruptions at Yellowstone is nearing the level of the last supervolcano, which occurred 600,000 years ago. Only this time, one man has his finger on the volcano's hair trigger. In the bargain to save his son, Havyn is central to unleashing hell on civilization, to scorch much of the earth clean and make room for a new sort of human race represented by his biologically re-engineered son.Armageddon Yellowstone: Hell Unleashed is a gripping story of human emotion and behavior under the cloud of annihilation.( Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Some of the phases used by the author (not the characters) where "cup of sludge", "looked in the mirror at 600 miles of bad road", "paid respect to the porcelain." etc. If this came from the voice of the character or even non-vocalized thoughts it would be one thing but this was the way the author told the story and I found it a stumbling block. His cute phrase were aggravating. His whole style of writing for me was hard to wade through. But still it wasn't what stopped me from continuing on.
The author told much of the story of the characters rather than let the characters speak for themselves. And I found none of the characters people that I wanted to know or even care about. They didn't come alive to me nor make we want to read more. But still I pushed on because the story line promised a great story (if not a great read) and I love Yellowstone.
But what finally stopped me was page after page of just plain crude and obscene language. much of it coming from the author and not necessarily from the mouth of the various characters. And let me just share some of these words so you can decide on your own if they would stop you from reading on: F... word used constantly, Peckerhead, give a shit, fart water, chrissake, cat crapped, pussy hurt, cocksucker, dirty motherfu....., cocksuckingbastardsonofabitch, and that is just a sampling of what the author feeds you constantly through the book. As I skipped through and found that language everywhere I just would not keep swallowing it. And it seemed every character used that language even the females. It is not the sort of thing I want to read. There are too many good reads and authors for me to subject me self to garbage.
This is the sort of book and authors I stay away from. But if you are comfortable with the constant flow of this sort of language (or at least tolerate it) maybe you will enjoy the adventure. ( )
