Thirty miles beneath the earth's surface, white-hot molten rock coursed upward into the swollen veins of the mighty volcano. In this dark underground abyss, searing temperatures and crushing pressures melted solid rock into a molasses-like magma. The primordial melt was a mindless, inanimate thing, yet seemed to possess a life all its own, for when it flowed it had the power to crack through the very crust of the earth.

The authors take the great disaster trend that was sweeping popular fiction and give it a twist... the occult.
Where better to incorporate the mystical than in a state that won’t open a public building or begin a digging project without first invoking the blessing of the Volcano Goddess, Pele through the local kahuna or Hawaiian priest. In this book when things “happen” it could be due to volcanology... or is it Pele? The authors make it reader’s choice.

Excerpts
On one of his many swerves into the opposite lane, the man flinched suddenly, certain he saw something in the headlights a few hundred yards ahead. Staring through the gloom, he saw an old lady stumbling along the side of the road. As he passed, the man's eyes were drawn to the woman's snow-colored tresses, which contrasted strangely with the leathery tones of her dark face--a face so deeply carved with wrinkles of age that it looked like antiquity itself. From severely recessed sockets within her skull, two small, close-set, intense eyes stared at the man as he went by.
He couldn't have merely imagined those piercing brown eyes--the way they burned into his consciousness as no dream ever could.
The juxtaposition between the science of the geological reality and the surreal presence of the spirit of the volcano are outlined in the very first chapter.
