In New Zealand's Tongariro National Park, ancestral Maori mountain warriors, the legendary Kahui Tupua, awaken, unleashing their unfathomable rage on army sergeant Taine McKenna. As the ground splits and chaos erupts, McKenna undertakes a desperate evacuation mission, that is until he encounters a busload of equally desperate prison escapees. It's going to take everything McKenna has to get the civilians out alive. Yet the true horror lies deeper still in this heart-stopping tale where the land itself is the enemy and every step could be his last. "A gripping take on the disaster fiction genre." -Aurealis "A kick-ass thriller with twists you will never see coming!" -Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of Deep Silence and V-WARS.
