Epicenter — Jack Douglas

There's No Way To Prepare

In the first earth-shaking installment of Jack Douglas's six-part Quake, the northeast experiences the deadliest earthquake in U.S. history -- 9.0 on the Richter Scale -- and the epicenter is New York City. . .

Assistant U.S. Attorney Nick Dykstra has seen his beloved city under attack. He has devoted himself to putting terrorist Feroz Saeed Aliva -- one of the architects behind 9/11 on trial for his role in the attacks. But Nick has never seen anything like the catastrophic events about to change New York forever. An earthquake of epic proportions. Buildings will be destroyed. Concrete will shatter. Bridges and tunnels will collapse. It strikes without warning -- and gives Feroz Aliva a chance to escape. Now, plunged in chaos and darkness, Nick is determined not to let his adversary get away. Aliva swore he would get his revenge, that he would hunt down Nick's daughter at Columbia University and make her pay for America's crimes. . .with her life.
