What a terrific book! Wow. This hit every note for me. Lots and lots of scienceing and engineering. Smart people, geek references throughout, and a great plot. And, despite world disaster, upbeat and hopeful.
If you don't like sciencing though, probably not for you. If you do though.... :)
pickThis is the 2nd book in the Quantum Earth series. A group of young scientists have discovered an alternative Earth and when the Yellowstone super valcanio erupts with a life ending event they and a group of others migrate to the alternate world in the hopes of rebuilding there. Unfortunately, the fresh start is not so fresh. Problems follow them and they must figure out how to live in this no tech world and set up some rules for the security..
pickThis is a post apocalyptic story about a group of Students who figure out how to open a portal between alternate Earths. Then the Yellowstone super volcano erupts and they find themselves trying to get as many people to Rivendell (the name for an alternative world) as they can to start again. Well written with some surprises and a little bit science that makes it seem plausible. Enjoyable. 4.5⭐ for story and narration.
pickDon‘t read this book‘s blurb. It gives away a major plot point, and this event doesn't occur until about 5 or 6 hours into the audiobook. I would have liked this story more if I hadn‘t known this spoiler. I didn't read the entire blurb, but the spoiler is revealed in the first sentence! All in all, this is a good first installment in D.E. Taylor's new series, featuring Ray Porter, the narrator from the Bobiverse. Overall rating: 4.15 stars
