Product Description
Product Description
An island people are fighting for their lives — a volcano in the Canaries has erupted — soon ash and lava will annihilate everything, unless the locals can destroy the volcano first. A desperate group set out armed with high explosives.
Three thousand miles away across the Atlantic Ocean the peaceful seaport of Goodwill, Maine, is getting ready for its annual summer festival, Founders Day. Tourists and locals alike are in carnival mood. But all is not right — freak swells strike the coast, corpses are washed from cemeteries, the whales disappear from the sea. A convoy of surfers arrive: their network tells them something big is going to happen in this town any day now, and they want part of the action.
Meanwhile the islanders have braved the ash clouds and packed their explosives into a fault line.
Today half their island will crash into the sea.
Three thousand miles of ocean will not save Goodwill from what happens next.

A story for any disaster fan, Aug 6 2011
By Veronica - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I enjoyed this book very much; it is well written and engaging. Even though the majority of the book takes place before any actual disaster, the writing is engaging enough to hold the attention.
