After a 6.8-point quake ravages Hawaii with a 20 foot tidal wave, biology professor Scott Richardson discovers an expanding crevasse on the Pacific Ocean floor capable of unleashing a 2,000-foot tsunami powerful enough to obliterate the entire Pacific Rim. Calling on his buddy, former Navy SEAL Chuck Palmer, Richardson attempts to determine the cause of the crevasse before it's too late. As the duo race against time and come up against violent agents of Hawaii's tourism industry, first-time author Miller proves adept at generating tension and mixing geological science with tough-guy humor. Unfortunately, forced dialogue and odd shifts in perspective work against the narrative, and Miller's cliffhanger ending makes for an unsatisfying conclusion.

    Make room for a new favorite author

    Tom Miller is a world traveler, adventurer, business owner, mountain hiker, expert sailor, and much more. I've known him for years and admired him but now I'm blown away by him. He's also an excellent author!!! Put him on your must-read list. His style is scientifically based like Michael Crichton and equally compelling. You'll be up late at night because you can't put his book down.

    This is an exhilarating thriller

    The earthquake was 6.8, but though it seemed impossible, a massive 20-foot tsunami wave followed devastating the Big Island of Hawaii killing many in Honolulu and elsewhere. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center failed to send out the alarm on time partly due to human error and mostly the inability to predict this could have happened with a relatively low level earthquake.

    Soon after that disaster, marine biologist Dr. Scott Richardson is studying undersea activity to try to learn what caused the landslide that led to the tsunami. He asks his former Navy SEAL buddy Chuck Palmer to help as he needs an experienced diver covering his back. Angry at his wife for concealing a critical truth in their relationship, he leaves Malibu for Hawaii. As the pair of former SEALs, with the help of others, explores the ocean floor around Hawaii, what they find frightens them and their cohorts. However, thugs perhaps working for the Governor want them stopped as tourism is how the islands survive.

    This is an exhilarating thriller that extrapolates scientific data on undersea earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and tsunamis to paint an incredible action-packed tale. The story line is fast-paced from the moment the first wave struck and never slows down as the mega tsunami is coming. Although the hitmen subplot adds suspense, it feels inanely out of place in comparison to the strong scientific fact-finding as increasingly a monster tsunami caused by earthquakes and volcanoes frighten the scientists on the project as that would devastate the Pacific Rim including the American West Coast.
