Saving Cascadia Cover 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.
