Opis
Event Zero
A global disaster. A preventable tragedy. A world forever changed.
When the Yellowstone Supervolcano finally erupts, there is no countdown, no heroic last-minute solution—only fire, ash, and silence.
What begins as a minor uptick in seismic activity beneath a national park becomes the largest natural disaster in recorded history. Within minutes, the American interior is erased. Within days, the ashfall spreads across continents. Planes are grounded. Crops fail. Economies spiral into chaos. The world, so meticulously networked and interconnected, begins to unravel.
In this deeply researched and hauntingly plausible novel, engineer-turned-author Philip Wilkinson presents an epic, cinematic chronicle of global collapse—told through dozens of voices across dozens of cities, from scientists and first responders to refugees, politicians, billionaires, and children.
This is not fantasy. This is based on known science.What if we ignored the warnings?What if we didn’t fund the research?What if the greatest natural threat in North America wasn’t a storm, or a war, but a sleeping giant beneath our feet?From Yellowstone’s initial harmonic tremors to the collapse of North America’s heartland, from the silence at Cheyenne to the rise of ash cults in Nevada, Event Zero spans continents and decades in its wake. Political orders are shattered. Food chains collapse. Billionaires flee to sealed bunkers while the rest of the world learns to breathe dust.
And when the skies begin to clear—what kind of civilisation, if any, will remain?
A gripping, science-grounded speculative novel in the tradition of Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee, Event Zero asks not whether the end could come—but whether we would even be ready.
