About the Book

"Epic."Simply epic in scope, characters, story, plot and imagery. One of the best disaster stories I have ever read. Highly recommend." Jay Ward, October 21, 2018 (Goodreads) In the basement of the new USGS Data Center Laboratory in Pasadena, California, Dr. Greg Foreman notes some unusual results of minor earthquakes that occurred overnight. Unable to immediately discuss the abnormalities with his mentor, he puts his misgivings aside and begins his Tuesday morning.Miner Carl "Bear" Barinovich discovers a fabulous gold mine high in the Sierras and can't believe his luck while likewise, in Newport Beach, movie producer Ken Whitlock anticipates a visit by Magda Fabin, a Hungarian movie starlet. Ken has his housekeeper prepare hors d'oeuvres and chill champagne, knowing what it means if Magda arrives without her agent.Pete Madison and his daughter Darcy survive a killer wave on Lake Mead while Hoover Dam's manager, Harry Forbes, experiences an unprecedented earthquake that causes considerable damage to the canyon walls and the dam's approach roads. Minutes later and more than two-hundred miles south of the dam, a group of Mexican nationals loses one of its members while crossing the Rio Colorado due to another strong earthquake centered near Yuma, Arizona.Jeremy Woods, the editor of the Los Angeles Tribune, reads reports of the two major quakes: Yuma is devastated with thousands of fatalities and one ridiculous report states that the Colorado River is flowing upstream. He scoffs at that but nevertheless realizes it's going to be a long day.Atop his mine, "Bear" experiences his first strong quake, one that seemingly wants to knock him off his mountaintop perch. He laughs as he rides it out and then finds a nugget large enough to retire on.This is still early Tuesday; eight more days are required to complete the California Archipelago.
