California faces threats from earthquakes, droughts, and wildfires.
Yet, there is another cataclysm, enormous rivers of rain whose fury
have wreaked havoc and ruin in the past.
Scientists' fears have been realized. It's coming.
ARkStorm - The Other Big One.
You can't turn the pages fast enough in this standalone disaster thriller from international bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, who delivers up-all-night thrillers to readers in 245 countries and territories worldwide.
Mixing science and suspense is something Bobby Akart is a master of while writing character driven stories that will have you on the edge of your seat.
California experiences atmospheric river storms every year, but the state hasn't experienced a catastrophe like this since the Great Storm of 1862 when intense rainstorms pounded the state unabated with little respite. Rivers became raging torrents that swept away entire communities, killing thousands. The state's Central Valley turned into a massive body of water 300-miles long and 60-miles wide.
It's happened before. It's happening again.
Bobby Akart is a genius at creating disaster scenarios.
Sammy Hendrick is preparing for a week of having her young nieces visit while her husband Tyler is immersed in preparations for the upcoming Rose Bowl when the rains begin.
Los Angeles County Deputy Fire Chief, Finn O'Brien, has seen the beautiful mountainous landscape of his neighborhood recently devastated by wildfire. He's concerned the mountains can't hold the rain and everything below it will be buried alive.
As this torpedo of moisture reaches the coast, it crashes into the mountains and is thrust upward. It kicks off torrents of rain and blinding blizzards.
Levees and dams are breached. Mudslides and avalanches are triggered.
Landscape and lives will be scarred forever. This is the Other Big One.
Akart has proven, once again, why he's a fan favorite!
This modern-day, fact-based novel will have you whispering just one more chapter until the end.
