There's no better place to relax and renew yourself than a peaceful place like Yellowstone National Park, right? That's why Sal, Cornelius, and Pioneer found themselves camped in the woods near Heart Lake overnight.

Surrounded by enough nature to enlighten and inspire them, they could not hope for a better place to be. Neither could Ranger Vicky, who hiked to the backcountry with her dog, for her final set of dissertation data. Except when 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. Ranger Keezheekoni builds a risky firebreak, smokejumpers attempt to save valuable timber, and they protect a remote park service cabin from destruction. Unfortunately, these firefighting heroes find they are up against unpredictable life-threatening obstacles as Sal, Cornelius, Pioneer, and Vicky are lost, desperately looking for a way out of this bubbling, burning hell.

You will not want to put this disaster down.
