I'm a sucker for a good disaster story and this collection serves up an enticing selection! I'm definitely picking it up.Meanwhile, I've already read VOLCANO WATCH and posted a review that I'll repost here:.In 1997, two volcano movies were released: Volcano (which almost cries out for a 1970s-style exclamation point in the title) and Dante's Peak. Dwiggins' novel, Volcano Watch, is better than either of them, possibly better than both put together. The next time Hollywood decides the public is hungry for a thriller about murder and magma, they need to call Toni Dwiggins.I thought that Dwiggins' "Forensic Geology" series got off to a strong start with Badwater (to which I gave four stars). This second book in the series is deeper and more exciting, bringing Dwiggins' main character, Cassie Oldfield, to a critical decision in her life.Volcano Watch is an exciting, character-driven thriller, fast-paced, in which a mountain blows up. What more could you want?
