Summary
When the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, it's up to six college students and their experimental physics project to prevent the end of civilization.
When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away.
Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet. The team has just hours to get as many people as possible across to Outland before a lethal cloud of ash overwhelms them.
Nothing has prepared the refugees for what they find - a world of few resources and unprecedented dangers. Somehow, they must learn to survive, because Outland may not just be a safe haven - it could be their new home.

As for Ray Porter I can't express how much I am grateful that you narrate books. YOU. ARE. SO. GOOD! Thank you! ❤️ On to the next book!

Light but entertaining post apocalypse
Ray Porter did a good performance with clear annunciation and discernable characters. One very minute r niggle - BBC world service no longer sounds like a PG Woodhouse character.
The story falls into the "cosy catastrophe" school. Less Lucifers Hammer and more Coral Island. For all that the story motors along nicely and is entertaining.

Transported to another world
This is another phenomenal book by Taylor.
The characters, plot, and narration are all excellent. I finished this book in less than 25 hours and cannot wait for the next book!

So happy to read "book 1 of 4"!
Another Dennis E. Taylor series makes me a very happy person! Very different series to the Bob-iverse, but it's another great start. Laugh out loud moments, surprising moments, and ones you struggle to listen to.
Heartily recommended.

Great premise, fun story
After reading all of the Bobiverse novels from Dennis E Taylor, I was looking forward to this re-vamped version of Outland. I've quickly become a fan of his writing, and this new (old) one didn't disappoint. Lovely characters you could instantly identify. Two main sci-fi storyline themes mashing together well. A really interesting window into what might happen on multiple levels if we had a world threatening catastrophic event. All in, a great read, and I can't wait for the next one. Cheers Dennis.

Not bad, but no bobbiverse
The characters were well-developed the science sounded very intriguing, the story was, well, intriguing. Still, no Bobbiverse.
