The beast beneath the mountain is restless...
No one in the bustling city of Pompeii worries when the ground trembles
beneath their feet. The beast under the mountain Vesuvius, high above
the city, wakes up angry sometimes--and always goes back to sleep.
But Marcus is afraid. He knows something is terribly wrong--and his
father, who trusts science more than mythical beasts, agrees. When
Vesuvius explodes into a cloud of fiery ash and rocks fall from the sky
like rain, will they have time to escape--and survive the epic
destruction of Pompeii?
