Terror on Mount St. Helens

Paleontologist Grant Coleman is on vacation at a lakeside resort near Mount St. Helens, Washington. All he wants to do is relax. But while he’s floating in an inner tube on the lake, the dam fails. He and others are swept away in the ensuing flood.

He awakens on the riverbank somewhere downstream in the heart of a national forest on the slopes of Mount St. Helens.

He meets Ridley Montrose, a back-to-nature woman living off the land, as well as a group of fraternity brothers dumped from a party boat on the lake. They huddle by the river, awaiting rescue.

But that is no place to rest. The waters around Mount St. Helens harbor deadly fish. Murderous beasts, thought extinct for thousands of years, hunt the forest. Seismic activity shakes the earth. Death stalks the group at every turn.

Countless numbers have died on these slopes over the decades, and it will be a miracle if Grant and his party survive the terrors on Mount St. Helens.
