Richter 10

The Story

Lewis Crane lived through the devastating Los Angeles earthquake of 1994. He survived, but his family didn't - and at seven years old, his life was ripped apart. Now he's thirty-seven, an expert seismologist with a fierce hatred for earthquakes. He's developed a unique theory of quake prediction, determined to protect people from the fate of his parents. But in a world run by Chinese-held corporations and an America split along racial and religious lines, there are those who don't want him to succeed.
