About This Book

Flames roar around you as smoke fills the air—can you find your way out before the Chicago Fire consumes everything? The ground shakes violently beneath your feet during the San Francisco earthquake, and you must hold on tight. Just when you think you’re safe, a new danger emerges—what will you do next?
