Three hundred years ago, Mother Earth wiped out North American civilization. History is about to repeat itself again. When the Cascadia fault line rips, people within 100 miles of the west coast of North America will be terrified. Within minutes, the tsunamis generated by this massive earthquake will scour entire communities off the map, killing thousands. The Oregon coast if the last place you want to be when the inevitable happens. Will Anna's preparedness plan for her coastal county keep the body count down? For Wilson, will his love of fishing on the ocean be the death of his building love of Anna? Will Jefferson reveal what he knows of the last battle between Thunderbird and Whale in time to save either of them, let alone himself?

I started this book and just couldn’t put it down. The characters and plot was very different than any earthquake book I have read before. I have only one question. What happened to the two idiots that would not open the door?

I have been a part of CERT for years, thought I'd pick up some more training. Got more than i expected! On practically every page there are descriptions of new technology being put to use for emergency planning. When the tsunami hits all that planning pays off for the characters in the story. But there's no happy ending to the Cascadia event. I came away determined to support smarter development - and ever more training!

Jan Glarum, a guru in the field of modern-day emergency management, combines his extensive career expertise and knowledge of the impact of disaster situations to create a riveting novel that is both brilliantly written and utterly believable. Excellent! A must-read for all audiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prophetic story!
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2022
Frighteningly gripping! Jan Glarum has captured a very real hazard and connected it with real people. His use of a Native Peoples story and a modern Emergency Management practitioner is compelling. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in what we must do to deal with this catastrophe in waiting!
