Saving Cascadia

By: John J. Nance

Narrated by: John J. Nance

A few hundred years ago, Cascadia Island didn't even exist. Like the Washington seacoast, it was rock submerged beneath the Pacific. A massive earthquake changed that, exploding the rock upward, making it land - unstable land, according to seismologist Dr. Doug Lam.

Lam has spent years researching the Cascadia Subduction Zone. He published a theory that the unrelieved tectonic strain beneath the idyllic landscape of Cascadia Island could be triggered with modern construction processes - with catastrophic results. The paper was disregarded, even ridiculed, by his peers and by mega wealthy developer Mick Walker, who stands to earn millions from the construction of a luxury resort on Cascadia. The elegant casino, hotel, and convention center will reap millions for him even if the tiny island only lasts for a short time...

When a series of earthquakes begins to shake the Northwest Corridor, Doug's worst fears are confirmed. In an attempt to convince Walker to evacuate Cascadia immediately, Doug hurries to join guests arriving for the resort's grand opening. As the tremors wreak havoc across the Northwest coastal area, the military is left with too few resources to assist the people on Cascadia. Convinced that the island will be in ruins within hours, Doug reluctantly calls upon his girlfriend, Jennifer Lindstrom, president of Nightingale Aviation - a major medical transport helicopter company - for help.

With snow falling, visibility dropping, and winds increasing, Doug embarks on an impossible mission with Jennifer and Nightingale's helicopters to evacuate over 300 people, while smaller earthquakes continue to herald the approach of a catastrophic tsunami.

John J. Nance hurtles readers along a nail-biting quest to rescue hundreds of stranded vacationers and resort staff. Meticulously researched, and with the signature authenticity only a veteran pilot could provide, Saving Cascadia is a hair-raising thriller of awesome magnitude.

Wow!! Amazing story and narrator!!

Great, engaging story. Narrator is superb! Thank you to author, narrator, and everyone else that made this fantastic entertainment possible!!

Without question the best author/narrator

My only complaint would be for to write a trilogy or a series that would allow a young pilot to mature into a senior aviator and develop multiple characters that would grow with the main lead(s) of the series. One book is not enough

What a disappointment....

Would you try another book from John J. Nance and/or the narrator?

John J. Nance is an incredible author and narrator, but not with this book. Would have rather reread Orbit, an incredible book!

Has Saving Cascadia turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

What didn’t you like about the narrator’s performance?

Too fast.
