About this listen

When the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it's up to six college students and their experimental physics project to prevent the end of civilization.

When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away.

Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet. The team has just hours to get as many people as possible across to Outland before a lethal cloud of ash overwhelms them.

Nothing has prepared the refugees for what they find - a world of few resources and unprecedented dangers. Somehow, they must learn to survive, because Outland may not just be a safe haven - it could be their new home.

Multi dimensional World's and Coffee, Awesome

I love this book for it's science and sci-fi groundings through to the TV referenced and quick humour express by the characters. For me, I really enjoyed the fact that this book was fast-paced and didn't drag out the plot lines or the events over several chapters.

Outland, What a surprise.

Loved the twist. Listening in my car and realised things had really changed. Can't wait to listen to the next one. I Have listened to this same story teller before, love his work.

Well paced, entertaining, typical Taylor fare!

Recommended. Found this book whilst seeking a fix for the Bobiverse (neeed moooore bawwwb) and was pleasantly surprised to find Taylor has written numerous other titles. Bought this one without hesitation and it delivered - will continue with this story too (though it stands alone very neatly even if it wasn't part of a book series).

Really enjoyed this one

Narration was good. I enjoyed the story - lots of different events happening that were plausible under the circumstances. Humour and sarcasm was also great. Thumbs up
