THE ATLANTIC SEPARATES EUROPE FROM AMERICA.
BUT IT CANNOT PROTECT THEM.
On the Canary Island of La Palma, a massive geological fault runs through Cumbre Vieja. What if part of the island were one day to collapse into the Atlantic?
A colossal wave could be born.
A wave capable of crossing an ocean.
A wave heading straight for the East Coast of North America.
When a group of powerful men gathers on La Palma, their interest in this scenario is anything but academic. Old scores, political influence and personal ambitions are tied to a disaster that could threaten millions of lives.
At the same time, an ordinary German businessman and his companion become caught in a conflict in America whose true scale they cannot yet understand. Suddenly they find themselves between a U.S. military special unit, international terrorists and people prepared to risk countless lives to achieve their goals.
While scientists struggle to understand what is happening on La Palma, decisions are already being made behind closed doors - decisions whose consequences may soon be impossible to control.
And eventually, only one question remains:
What happens when a theoretical disaster suddenly becomes reality?
The Downfall of the East Coast is a disaster thriller about nature unleashed, power, terrorism and ordinary people forced to fight for survival.
