The biggest thriller of the year: A history-making eruption is about to destroy the Big Island of Hawaii. But a secret held for decades by the US military is far more terrifying than any volcano.
Description
The master of the techno-blockbuster joins forces with the master of the modern thriller to create the most anticipated mega bestseller in years.
Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had a passion project he’d been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

I liked the main characters, the storyline was not at all predictable, lot’s of twists and turns. Quick, exciting summer read.

This is by far the absolute best book I’ve ever read. Talk about your heart rising to near stroke level, several times during the reading of this book. There are funny moments, happy times, and definitely sad moments, that I wish had not happened, but in the end, all is good! Thanks for the great read!

As a fan of both Patterson and Crichton, I fully expected this to be something very special, because the book’s premise instantly creates anxiety and fear that this fictional event really could happen in our lifetimes. Add to that the enormous talents of Crichton and Patterson, and how could this book do anything less than keep me on the edge of my seat? The truth is, the book is missing something, and I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I think it’s timing – or pace – that’s off. And the suspense doesn’t build like I would have expected. Other than that it reads well, and the characters were likable. Would I recommend it? Yes – just don’t expect “very special.”

As a long time Michael Crichton fan I was eager and hesitant to read this book. After reading an interview with James Patterson where he dared the reader to discern where Crichton left off and he began writing I decided to read it. I was not disappointed. The characters are engaging, science fascinating and the story compelling. Thank you,Mrs. Crichton, for letting your husband’s voice be heard one more time.

I have read Michael Crichton books, have never read Patterson’s books before, so even i can tell the difference in the style of writing, Michael Crichton wife held onto the unfinished manuscript for 15 years before she found author she thought would do a good job finishing it, no one can write like Michael Crichton could, and even though Patterson did a good job finishing it this book can be very boring in parts and a slow read, took me longer to read, and was not one of those books that makes you want to get to the end to see what happens, i kept reading it but this book is not a don’t want to put it down type of book
