Dr. Quake — Warren Murphy; Richard Sapir

WHO'S FAULT?
It isn't going to be Remo Williams' -- no matter what Dr. Quake or Mother Nature have in store!

Out in California there's a crack in the crust of the earth's skin known as the San Andreas Fault. Every once in a while this crack lets loose with a phenomenon we call an earthquake -- and about twice every hundred years it is a giant earth-shaker causing millions of dollars in damage and great loss of life.

But that's Mother Nature!

Enter one geological genius named Forben. He's called "Dr. Quake." Seems he's developed an incredible machine capable of minimizing or stopping tremors and quakes! And, conversely, he and his mad device can accelerate or start earthquakes!

Another of Mother Nature's gifts, Remo Williams, is assigned to see to it that the latter doesn't occur.

It's the quake-makers vs. The Destroyer -- a most shattering meeting of force.
