I just finished Catastrophe. It was quite enjoyable. The author appears to make a good case for the explosive volcanic eruption in the southwest Pacific. for the mid 6th century event. However, he seems to completely miss the evidence, presented in From Exodus to Arthur, for an extraterrestial component to the worldwide climatic disaster.

Cosmic Winter by Clube and Napier do a very good job with the celestial connection. I really liked, "Exodus To Arthur, by Mike Baillie too. He is a dendrochronologist and noted major events that were recorded in the tree ring data over the last 10k years, he then set out to see what humans had recorded during these same periods. He discovered a lot of chatter about things falling from the sky.
