Yellowstone is controlled by nature.
Its beauty is breathless and tranquil.
Crystal clear streams flow.
Buffalo roam freely.
It's what's happening beneath that will bring HELLFIRE!


"Edge of the seat thrilling!"

The Yellowstone Series, an Amazon Charts bestselling disaster thriller from international best-selling author, Bobby Akart, takes the reader on a thrill ride as a cataclysmic event of extinction level proportions ticks away like a time bomb, awaiting its moment. Millions of people visit the Yellowstone National Park every year blissfully unaware they are on top of the greatest killer man has ever known - the Yellowstone Supervolcano.

"Akart writes so eloquently that you forget you are reading a story. You are in the book ... running from the volcano, fearing for your life."

Beneath this primal allure simmers a catastrophic threat. A caldera the size of Mount Everest, created hundreds of thousand of years ago, which holds back super-heated magma, rising and falling, looking for release. Scientists agree.

The eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano is overdue for an eruption. Events have been set into motion that lit the fuse of the greatest disaster mankind has ever known.

Is it going to happen? Yes.

Do we know when? Anytime, or not within our lifetime, hopefully.
But if it does ... The eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano will be more than a spectacle to grab our attention. It will be the end of the world as we know it.

PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR

"No one, and I mean NO ONE, does it better! Mr. Akart knows how to write a thriller that is too realistic for comfort."

"Vintage Akart ... he scares the wits into you, and then shows you to survive the greatest threats to our existence."

"When an author can bring out so many emotions in a reader, it is the sign of some damn fine writing."

"Emotional and action packed with plot twists that keep you hooked."

"Packed with suspense, drama, and raw emotion ... Akart has a firm grasp of the science and uses his masterful storytelling skills to shift between the plot and the learning experience which is a trademark of his novels."

ABOUT THE YELLOWSTONE SERIES

Volcanoes are the Earth's way of letting off steam. While most people look at volcanic eruptions as natural disasters, the fact of the matter is, without them, the Earth would explode. Deep beneath the surface of the planet, excess heat builds up, finding a way to vent. Like an overcrowded bus on a hot summer day, the overheated magma stews in its own madness, allowing pent-up frustrations to boil over, until it releases its fury - its HELLFIRE - upon the world above.

Yellowstone is the most potentially explosive, violent, deadly, active volcano on our planet and scientists agree, a catastrophic eruption is inevitable. Yellowstone is extraordinary in its potential and is quite simply, Earth's greatest killer. You've been warned.

Don’t think you are safe anywhere if Hellfire blows
Again Bobby Akart has done his research! This book will definitely make you realize you can’t mess with Mother Nature. I knew Yellowstone was full of mud pots and small eruptions and had stood and watched them as a child but I had no idea what a caldera was until reading Yellowstone Hellfire. With Hawaii and the Kilauea volcano being front and center on the news, I considered myself lucky I didn’t live there. I now know that no matter where I live disaster is just an eruption away. As with all of Bobby Akart’s books the scientific research is right on the spot and is an education in it’s own right but interwoven with the science is a great story with unforgettable characters and heart stopping action.The Prologue introduces us to Dr. Ashby Donovan and explains what has led her to her position as one of the best volcanologists in the world but also has left her with deep personal scars that drive her every day. Chapter 1 introduces us to Jake Wheeler, a Yellowstone Law Enforcement Ranger, who while fighting a forest fire in Yellowstone when he first discovers a fissure and the first sign of lava or as Jake puts it “Hellfire”. The characters mesh together in a perfect way and make you want to see them succeed in what becomes a battle against Mother Nature. But the star of Yellowstone Hellfire is the Yellowstone Caldera that will leave you breathless and praying that it never blows again even though almost all scientist believe it and maybe sooner than later.The pictures Bobby draws with words are scary as can be but from scientific history we know that it has happened in the past and that it can happen again. While the scientific community does not accept Dr. Donovan’s belief that the volcano will erupt, she never waivers in her belief and thankfully neither does Jake. She must fight the politically backed company that is fracking the caldera for money and power. Don’t think you are safe anywhere if Hellfire blows. Another cliff hanger from Bobby Akart that has you on the edge of your seat and unable to put down this great book, and makes you pray he won’t wait too long for the next installment.

Excellent edge of your seat beginning of this series. As one would expect there is a lot of character development and storyline development in this book, but Smart does a great job keeping the story moving and on edge while doing it. I LOVE the heroine, smart, strong, independent, but also caring and real. Alk the characters are three dimensional. The dialogue is good and one is sucked into the story. The violence and gore is not overdone and is presented in a scientific manner. Onto book 2.

The Master of Apocalyptic Disaster, author Bobby Akart, has glanced into his crystal ball and delivered a terrifying glimpse into the dark side of the beautiful Yellowstone park area. It's been six hundred thousand years since the last eruption of the Yellowstone Super Volcano, and it's overdue for a repeat performance.

Ranger Jake Wheeler was assisting fire fighters with a fire in Yellowstone Park. The fire overwhelmed them and Jake found himself surrounded by blazes. An orange glow, visible through the trees, fire and smoke drew Jake's eye and like a moth to a flame, he was compelled to get a closer look. At about 60 feet, he could get no closer to the pulsating blob dimming then glowing bright like a living being. "It can't be!" Jake thought, "but it sure looks like lava!" Lava hadn't been seen in Yellowstone since the Park was founded.

Dr. Ashby Donovan and her team, Dusty Holder and Rita Charles - volcanology students who, like Ashby, were employed by NASA studying volcanoes. After meeting Ashby and team, Jake told her about what he saw in the fire. She was extremely excited and planning to follow Jake there the next day.
Rick Younger had replaced Dr. Don Peake as head scientist at the Park. Dr. Peake had not been a fan of Project Hydra - Younger's plan to drill into the caldera and inject water into the hot lava, capturing the steam to create geothermal energy. Younger drilled too deep and took shortcuts to produce energy, and now the Yellowstone Super Volcano was reading to blow!

Very exciting beginning to an epic new series, with the kind of characters I've come to expect and admire from Bobby Akart. I'm already peeking around pages trying to get a glimpse of how the good guys are going to find out what the arch villain has planned.
Excellent storyline for a great read!

It is always exciting when Bobby Akart begins a new series, I always look forward to seeing what catastrophe will affect the world next. This time we are taken on a journey
to Yellowstone, where the Yellowstone supervolcano was about to raise its angry head and unleash a hell on Earth that could possibly be the end of mankind. As in true Akart tradition, this story begins with a bang and an introduction of the main players of the story who will undoubtedly become good friends to us as the storyline progresses. Mr. Akart does extensive research with all of his stories and it definitely shows with this book. Though I did know a little about volcanoes, I am now getting a more in depth and interesting lesson on just what makes them a ticking timebomb. With that said, this story has scared the crap out of me! Just knowing that this in fact can and will happen some day is enough to make you lose sleep! Thank you Bobby Akart for once again writing an informative and thrilling story that will be on my mind for a long time. I will now be watching the news for all info that pertains to Yellowstone and watch for signs of a possible eruption. Due to your survival ideas in the book, I at least have an idea of what to do and what is needed if that does happen. This is definitely a story that you do not want to miss out on! I can’t wait for the next one in the series to be released!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic compelling read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2023
I loved Yellowstone Hellfire it was a fast paced action packed page turner that I thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the characters that were so believable and although it would be a fair old journey from Scotland I don’t think I want to go to Yellowstone there are a fair few books about said place out there lol. The only fault I have with this book is the ending, I dislike intensely when the last sentence is cut off midflow. Other than that I’m downloading Inferno right now. It’s a cracking read and I would recommend it to anyone.

This was an interesting premis. The reason for Yellowstone cutting loose was plausible and this first entry sets the scene for this series. BA captures the problem scientists face every day with both the media and poloticians. Good character interactions. The previous reviewers desire for page breaks instead of chapters is seconded.
