Content warning: "Outland" by Dennis E Taylor
Read "Outland" by Dennis E Taylor, book one of the Quantum Earth series in which some college students figure out how to make a portal to parallell Earths just in time for their Earth Prime to suffer a supervolcano.
Taylor is pretty good at this stuff, loved his Bobiverse books.
Story was always progressing, even if it sometimes seemed to progress too slowly. Everyone's hip with all the literature so are comparing their situation to movies and TV shows all the time. Realistic cat-herding difficulties as they try and save as many people as they can and slowly realize that none of them will be going home and their home is doomed.
Looking forward to the next one.
