SAVING CASCADIA

The Cascadia Subduction Zone, stretching over 800 miles from mid-Vancouver Island to Northern California, is one of the world’s most dangerous tectonic faults, capable of producing mega-earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis of apocalyptic proportions. From that premise, Nance’s thriller hurtles listeners on a quest to both prevent a wave and rescue hundreds from a sinking island before the big one hits. As the Northwest corridor implodes, Nance speaks so convincingly of rending metal and collapsing structures and with such exquisite pacing that listening becomes almost painful--like waiting for the fuse to burn down to the dynamite.
