Without giving away spoilers, World Quake is quite simply an exciting and well written novel of a global disaster that threatens to eliminate mankind. Earth quakes and mega tsunami’s strike, killing many and causing chaos and hardship for those who are lucky enough to survive. The story moves through different character perspectives as they each fight for survival. The narration is excellent, both atmospheric, tense and full of realism. The author includes interesting facts at the end of the story which add to the whole credibility of the plot and the potential reality of such an event occurring. How would we cope?
The characters are highly credible and elicit emotional reactions from the reader including support and empathy, and at the opposite end of the spectrum, sheer horror and disgust. The plot moves forward at a gripping pace, and keeps the reader engaged. There is nothing to distract the reader from the story in fact most readers will struggle to not read this book in one sitting.
I am looking forward to reading Book 2 and I award 5 stars.
