Publisher's Synopsis
No longer content to rumble in anger, the great mountain warriors of New Zealand's central plateau, the Kahui Tupua, are preparing again for battle. At least, that's how the Maori elders tell it. The nation's leaders scoff at the danger. That is; until the ground opens and all hell breaks loose. The armed forces are hastily deployed; NZDF Sergeant Taine McKenna and his section tasked with evacuating civilians and tourists from Tongariro National Park. It is too little, too late. With earthquakes coming thick and fast and the mountains spewing rock and ash, McKenna and his men are cut off. Their only hope of rescuing the stranded civilians is to find another route out, but a busload of prison evacuees has other ideas. And, deep beneath the earth's crust, other forces are stirring."INTO THE ASHES is a kick-ass thriller with twists you will never see coming! Lee Murray serves up a nail-biter of a weird-science action adventure. Brava!" -Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of DEEP SILENCE and V-WARS
