Chuck Palmer Adventure Series #2
The Wave
Geologists have recently found remnants of the largest landslides in the world surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. These landslides generated tsunamis of unimaginable size and power. The only question remaining is when will it happen again?
A MERE 6.8 EARTHQUAKE on the island of Hawaii unleashes a 20-foot tsunami causing major damage and killing almost 12,000 people. Can two former Navy Seals, now a biology professor and personal trainer, find the cause? The answer lies 6,000 feet under the sea. With razor sharp wit and the military skills of their Navy Seal training, Chuck Palmer and Scott Richardson make a discovery no one could have fathomed: another tsunami 100 times larger (2,000-ft.) is about to crush the entire Pacific Rim. The Wave is a gripping, seamless story of love, friendship, non-stop macho humor, and a looming natural disaster.

I loved this book! It was a great story with a lot of interesting science. Maybe it was because we were in Hawaii when I read it and there a been a "little" tsunami recently but it was a hoot...great scifi, would make a great TV movie and terrific to read when in Hawaii!!

This book reads just like a SciFi Channel original movie. It's about what would happen if Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano in the world (whose slopes I happen to live on), was to have a massive eruption, causing half the volcano to collapse and slide into the ocean, creating a 2,000 foot tsunami.
After reading it a second time years later, it still reads like a SyFy channel movie, I see all the typos and grammatical errors, and I realize the ending sets up for a sequel. I'm not sure if there is a sequel, but SyFy should get on it and make a movie.

A direly awful disaster novel about giant tidal wave devastating California. A highlight of the preposterous plot involves a daring escape from Malibu on a Harley.
