From the bestselling author of Pandora's Clock and Fire
Flight: A nerve-jangling aviation rescue adventure in the
wake of a devastating natural disaster. Saving Cascadia
is a brilliantly plotted high-altitude thriller.
For wealthy real-estate developer Mick Walker, it's all
about the dollar signs. Cascadia Island, situated off the
coast of Washington, is sure to reap millions from its elegant
casino, hotel, and convention center, despite the dire warnings
of a lone seismologist. Years earlier, Dr. Doug Lam of the
U.S. Geological Survey published a theory that it was nothing
short of a madness to build the resort complex. Lam is convinced
that centuries of unrelieved tectonic strain will one day
erupt and destroy Cascadia Island. His theory has been roundly
attacked and his career all but derailed as a result. But
just as the resort is set to open and Lam's girlfriend,
Jennifer Lindstrom - president of a major helicopter company
- plans to fly many of the guests to Cascadia Island, the
entire Pacific Northwest starts vibrating with what may
be the precursors to the cataclysmic quake Lam fears.
Building on a brilliant and all-too-credible geological
premise, bestselling author John J. Nance brings his celebrated
talents for expertly paced storytelling and unnerving authenticity
to Saving Cascadia. As the Northwest corridor implodes in
the aftermath of a devastating series of earthquakes, and
a tsunami of near-apocalyptic proportions approaches, Nance
hurtles readers along on a nail-biting quest to rescue hundreds
of stranded vacationers and islanders.
