Ring of Fire Hawaii

A Disaster Thriller

By: Bobby Akart

Narrated by: Andrew Wehrlen

The earth is shifting.
The Ring of Fire is awake.
Beneath paradise, a global cataclysm looms.
And someone is hiding the truth.

After the catastrophic fury of Mount St. Helens and the agonizing eruption of Mount Fuji, Dr. Duke Mercer and his family find themselves regrouping in new environs. Duke and the CVO refugees have a new, desperate mandate to monitor the Pacific Rim's most volatile volcanic systems, from the enigmatic Axial Seamount to the looming titans off Indonesia.

But the Earth's fiery heart has a new, terrifying plan.

Duke's brilliant daughter, Sloan, is handpicked to join elite cadre of volcanologists tasked with averting global disaster. Her new assignment plunges her into the heart of the Pacific—Hawaii's volcanic islands—where she's partnered with the handsome, enigmatic seismologist Dr. Kane Barfield. Kane carries a secret, a chilling truth that could not only obliterate Hawaii but plunge the entire planet into an extinction-level event.

As Sloan and the new VDAP team uncover alarming evidence—Mauna Loa and Kilauea's massive magma chambers are connected, charging, and ready to erupt—a secretive experimental deep-earth drilling operation for volcanic gold threatens to derail their desperate race against time. They must convince a skeptical world of the unprecedented VEI potential of a joint eruption while finding a way to shield the Hawaiian people from an impending catastrophe.

Kane's terrifying secret, the very reason he was strategically deployed to the idyllic Hawaiian Islands, may hold the singular key to survival. However, for humanity to endure, he must reveal the truth—a truth more devastating than the inferno brewing beneath the Pacific.

This modern-day, fact-based novel will have you whispering just one more chapter until the end.

Extraordinary!!!

Riveting as usual! Bobby never disappoints!!! He is the smartest man I know!! Read this and all his series!

Bobby Akart - One of his best!

I've lived in and visited many of the Ring of Fire volcanos. The descriptions are accurate and the storyline very compelling. The solar and man-made intrusions are not far from what reality could be for our future. I hope many will research on their own to come to there 'own' conclusions.
Well done Mr. Akart! I look forward to the remaining books in your series...

Breathtaking excitement

Best disaster story ever. So well written, and never slowed down from the first page.

volcano

can't wait for the next book. this series has been awesome. need three more words.

Good disaster, shallow characters

I enjoyed this book and the others in the series, I found myself put off by the callous disregard of the Mercer family for others in the disasters. while millions are displaced, injured, or dead the Mercers are swimming in a pool at a luxury home provided by the government with an unlimited credit card for clothing and other items and praising Mrs Mercer proudly about their surroundings. swimming in a pool getting a suntan, while millions are dead or homeless. Sloan may be a brilliant scientist but she is also a profound idiot. Obviously I don't read disaster books for deep compassionate characters but the shallowness of some of the characters doesn't always leave me cheering for their survival.
