Continental Breach

Ring of Fire Series, Book Three

The Ring of Fire has reached America.

Six months after Alaska and Japan, the earthquakes suddenly stop along Southern California. For three days, the faults are silent.

Then Ventura breaks.

A massive rupture tears through the coast, triggering landslides, collapsing hillsides, and awakening buried faults across the Southwest. San Diego begins to fracture. Volcanoes rise beneath the desert. The Grand Canyon shudders as deep tremors spread beneath Lake Mead and Hoover Dam.

And the ground is sinking.

Geologist Sam Shore and volcanologist Irina Toropova race to understand a network of anomalies stretching from the Pacific Coast to southern Utah. Warm water is surging from fractures beneath Lake Mead. Quakes are striking far deeper than reservoir pressure can explain. Entire sections of crust are dropping as though the continent is hollowing out from below.

Susan Shore warned that the mantle could trigger a cascading planetary collapse.

Now her theory is unfolding beneath their feet.

As cities vanish into fissures and mountains tear apart, Sam, Irina, and the survivors of Alaska and Japan are scattered across a landscape in motion. Trapped between erupting volcanoes, collapsing highways, catastrophic landslides, and a coastline advancing inland, they must outrun a disaster too vast to escape.

Because this is no longer just an earthquake.

Southern California, Nevada, Utah, and northern Arizona are subsiding together.

The Pacific is rushing in to replace them.

The continent isn’t cracking.

It’s being torn apart.
