NO ONE THINKS IT CAN HAPPEN HERE

Washington State's Cascadia Island has been the focus of seis-

mologist Doug Lam's intensive research. Formed by earthquakes

centuries ago, the unstable landmass needs only the slightest

trigger to unleash a devastating catastrophe.

NO ONE HEARS THE WARNINGS

A wealthy developer stands to make millions from the construction of a luxury resort on Cascadia -- and no scientist's theories of calamity will stop him. But on the eve of the complex's grand opening, terror rolls in with unstoppable force.

NO ONE WILL SURVIVE

Seismic rumblings along the Northwest Corridor escalate to deadly tremors that put hundreds of lives on the line. With the island

imploding and the military ill-supplied, Doug and his girlfriend, pilot Jennifer Lindstrom, race to evacuate the island by air while dreading the worst: the upheaval signals the approach of a killer tsunami....

From AudioFile
The Cascadia Subduction Zone, stretching over 800 miles from mid-Vancouver Island to Northern California, is one of the world''s most dangerous tectonic faults, capable of producing mega-earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis of apocalyptic proportions. From that premise, Nance''s thriller hurtles listeners on a quest to both prevent a wave and rescue hundreds from a sinking island before the big one hits. As the Northwest corridor implodes, Nance speaks so convincingly of rending metal and collapsing structures and with such exquisite pacing that listening becomes almost painful--like waiting for the fuse to burn down to the dynamite.
