This book tells a compelling scientific story of discovery. But the book goes beyond the science and presents the case for society preparing for an event we are at this point are ill prepared for. --Dan McShane, Engineering Geologist [An] alarming geological expose. . . [and a] fascinating scientific detective story. . . . A lucid, engrossing look at the Earth's subtle dynamics--and a timely warning about their awesome power very close to home. --Publishers Weekly A level-headed look at a potentially devastating natural disaster . . . fascinating. --Booklist Seismological CSI, offering up one stunning revelation after another. --The Globe and Mail The book's strongest point is the convincing presentation of the scientific arguments that deem Cascadia to be North America's most dangerous tectonic zone, implying that the next catastrophic earthquake will be the largest megadisaster ever encountered on the new continent. --Literary Review of Canada The most important political book to appear in Canada for many years. . . .
