Chicago Surge

A Tidal Wave Skyscraper Survival Thriller

By: James Calloway

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A freak seismic event. A wall of water. A skyscraper that is about to become a tomb.

Evelyn came to the waterfront to find herself, but now she is fighting just to breathe. When a massive surge from Lake Michigan slams into the Glass Harbor towers, the city’s aggressive modernity becomes a vertical trap.

The elevators are dead. The lower floors are gone. And the building is beginning to scream.

Trapped twelve stories up, Evelyn must lead a group of strangers through a landscape of shattered glass and failing concrete. From a harrowing ledge crossing in a howling gale to a desperate descent through a dark utility core, every choice is a calculation between life and death.

But the lake isn’t finished. A second surge is coming, and this time, the building’s frame is ready to buckle.

For those who crave high-stakes disaster fiction and relentless pacing, this is a visceral, atmospheric journey where the only way out is down.
