Have you ever been in an earthquake? If you have, can you even imagine a 9.5? That is what Dr. Doug Lam believes will happen if Mick Walker who is a very rich businessman continues to build on Cascadia Island. Doug is a seismologist and his theory is discredited. Daine Lacombe has a computer CD that may prove him right. After her apartment was ransacked she left trying to find Dr. Lam without being found out by whoever was after her.
Jennifer Lindstrom is a pilot and president of the Nightingale Helicopter Company. She is also Dr. Lam’s girlfriend and she has to make several flights that are very dangerous. Will Mick Walkers construction set off the 9.5 earthquakes that will completely destroy most of western Washington or is Doug completely wrong?
This book is at times slow, but when it gets going it becomes suspenseful. Some parts of this book are hard to put down! Plus, you can imagine this actually happening and the characters seem like they could be real. I would recommend this book to people that like realistic fiction and want a longer read with some very suspenseful parts. This book also has a very surprising ending!
