Former Park Ranger and Covington resident Sean Smith releases first novel


August 30, 2012 · Updated 1:57 PM 

The first novel from Covington resident, former Yellowstone National Park ranger and parks advocate Sean Smith is now available Amazon.com.

"Unleashing Colter's Hell" takes place in Yellowstone National Park. The Yellowstone Caldera erupts roughly every 600,000 years, and according to scientists and seismic experts, the next blast is long overdue.

A present-day eruption would destroy much of the central and eastern United States, and quite possibly western civilization.

In Unleashing Colter's Hell, a religious fanatic armed with a nuclear device is sent to the Yellowstone wilderness to trigger an eruption and spell the end of the U.S. Veteran park ranger Grayson Cole, along with Dianne Harris, a rookie member of the FBI's domestic terrorism task force, work together to stop it from happening.

Available now on Amazon.com and other on-line outlets, paperback versions of Unleasing Colter’s Hell are $9.99, and Kindle copies are $4.99.
