Review: Great Disaster Novels
Rating: 5 out of 5

Four very different biological thrillers, one active volcano and an earthquake?  And NOT an earthquake on the Pacific Rim?  Definitely $.99 well spent.  I particularly liked The Rift, the longest of the books (approximately 800 pages) about what would happen if the New Madrid fault in Missouri let loose the way it did in 1812.  Lots of historical information from 19th century eye witnesses mixed with modern science and the economic, social and political upheaval as seen by various characters.Other reviewers have decried the loose ends in the book, but I felt it was more realistic as written because characters' lives WOULD go on after the final page, each one carrying within him/her the trials and lessons of the few months covered in the novel.
