A fictionalized account of the events leading up to the explosion of Mount Vesuvius told from the perspectives of an engineer, a young girl, a corrupt millionaire, and a scientist. Well researched and full of lots of interesting details about the culture of the Roman Empire, its amazing aqueduct system, and the causes and the timeline of a volcanic eruption.
