A Terrifying Prophetic TrilogyMillions of years ago, a series of explosive methane blowouts precipitated an extinction event that killed ninety-five percent of all life on earth. More recently, the discovery of thousands of methane craters, both on land and underwater, is clear evidence that mother nature can, and will, do it again.

They know drilling holes into our planet is a perilous gamble and that mother nature is the sovereign guardian. If you respect her domain, she may give up some of her bounty. But if you transgress... there are a thousand ways to die. BLOWOUT tells the horrifying tales of three of them.
