Target is kind of scary because he’s good with an axe.

Alex finds a guy called Target, who wants to put a crew together.

Elroy wakes Alex up and tells him to leave. They reluctantly take him in, and give him water and a bed.

He sleeps there for the night and then heads out. He heads to the school, which is full of refugees.He tries to use a bike but it obviously can’t get through the ash, so he takes his dad’s ski gear and skis over the ash. Alex and his lovely neighbours get attacked.Alex’s neighbours are lovely and they look after him for a bit. The supervolcano erupts, and the power cuts out. Alex would rather stay home and play video games (I don’t blame him) and so he gets left behind. Alex’s parents drive to Warren to visit Alex’s uncle.His parents aren’t there, but his sister and uncle and aunt and cousins are at the farm. He treks across the US and finds Darla, who is a badass farm girl, and eventually they find Alex’s family. Alex, the main character, was left alone for the weekend but then the volcano caused a problem and he needs to set off to find his family. The supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park erupts and causes all kinds of problems. If you can’t remember what happened in Ashfall and you need a refresher, then you’re in the right place.

This epic finale has the heart of Ashfall, the action of Ashen Winter, and a depth all its own, examining questions of responsibility and bravery, civilization and society, illuminated by the story of an unshakable love that transcends a post-apocalyptic world and even life itself.Read a full summary of Ashfall by Mike Mullin below.

they, their loved ones, and the few remaining survivors will perish. When it becomes apparent that their home is no longer safe and adults are not facing the stark realities, Alex and Darla must create a community that can survive the ongoing disaster, an almost impossible task requiring even more guts and more smarts than ever-and unthinkable sacrifice. Sickness, cold, and starvation are the survivors' constant companions. Communities wage war on each other, gangs of cannibals roam the countryside, and what little government survived the eruption has collapsed completely. Now, almost a year after the eruption, the survivors seem determined to finish the job. The Yellowstone super-volcano nearly wiped out the human race.
