There’s no better place to relax and renew than peaceful Yellowstone National Park so Sal, Cornelius and Pioneer camp in the woods overnight, and Ranger Vicky hikes to the backcountry with her dog, for her final set of dissertation data.

Surrounded by enough nature to enlighten and inspire the dead, they could not hope for better circumstances.

Except after a prolonged drought desiccated the forest, then lightning ignites all that dry wood, and the park service is up against the largest natural forest fire in their history. Now America’s beloved icon is up in flames.

Superintendent Duka begins an all-out campaign to stop the park from burning to ash. He sends Ranger Keezheekoni to build a risky firebreak, smokejumpers to save valuable timber and tries to protect a remote park service cabin. These firefighting heroes find they are up against unpredictable life-threatening obstacles.

Sal, Cornelius, Pioneer and Vicky are lost, desperately looking for a way out. First, they must escape from a bubbling, burning hell.

You will not want to put this disaster down.
