Major volcanoes across the Pacific Rim - from Indonesia to the Americas - erupt in quick succession, each more violent than the last. As the earth trembles and cities fall into chaos, the world is plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
Ring of Fire is a natural disaster thriller series from international bestselling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, who has delivered up-all-night thrillers to over two million readers in 245 countries and territories worldwide.
It begins at the Cascadia Subduction Zone off America's Pacific Northwest. Triggered by a massive earthquake as two titanic tectonic plates clash, a tsunami races inland wreaking havoc on the coast. However, that was just the beginning as the seismic activity threatens to awaken a sleeping giant causing an undersea volcanic eruption at the one-mile-wide Axial Seamount caldera. The Earth is rocked to its core and the Ring of Fire has been awakened by sudden shifts in tectonic pressure setting the stage for a global extinction level event.
Bobby Akart is a master at creating disaster scenarios.
The Ring of Fire, the world's most volatile volcanic system encompassing the Pacific Rim, suddenly becomes unstable. The great tectonic plates have held the Pacific in a delicate balance for millennia shift with terrifying force triggering a cascade of catastrophic events.
Akart is one of those very rare authors who makes things so visceral, so real, that you experience what he writes.
From the volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest to Fuji in Japan to Tambora in Indonesia and to the massive volcanic systems at Kilauea and Mauna Loa in the Hawaiian Islands, the fury of nature is unleashed. Earthquakes level cities. The oceans themselves rise in wrath, swallowing coastal cities as tsunamis flow in all directions. Lava cascades down the slopes of volcanos. The ash-filled skies darken above, triggering a volcanic winter.
