I received this book free to read and review.Sometimes a book grabs you from the start and this is one of them. It all seems more plausible as it uses some factual scientific information backed with internet links to articles further explaining things like the "North Anatolian Fault".I also liked the balance between the disasters happening around the world and the calm scientific attitude of the scientist who initially did not realise what was happening. The asides which took a look at characters away from the main action for example a surfer trying to ride a Tsunami wave.As well as this there is a secret band of scientist trying to save the world, at least some of them are, a bit of romance thrown in and a scientist who becomes an all action hero, what more could you want. Some of the characters came across more sympathetically than others I particularly liked Ajay the general dogsbody who would help anyone.In all an excellent book, where everything comes together at the end although I am not sure all is for the best.
