Behemoth

For generations, the dormant volcano Mount Lincoln has anchored Ascension, the quiet town in its shadow—until an earthquake rocks the region, splitting open the rocky face of the smoldering mount. When the Richter scale goes off the charts at nearby Northern Tech University, Emily Green heads back to her hometown to survey the damage, and back to her old high school sweetheart, logger Thomas Anderson. The disaster has also drawn undercover government agent Jack Owens. He fears this is only the beginning of a larger threat, something that hasn’t taken place for tens of thousands of years. It’s not another natural disaster. In fact, there’s nothing in nature quite like it.
