Publisher Description
As the Big Island of Hawai'i faces an eruption of unprecedented intensity, the U.S. military contends with the consequences of a long-held doomsday secret.
The master of the techno-blockbuster joins forces with the master of the modern thriller. Eruption is the passion project Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had been pursuing for years ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. After discovering his notes and the partial manuscript, his wife, Sherri Crichton, searched for more than a decade until she found the perfect partner: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

" I listened to this on a road trip to the Keys and the story line was too long and drawn out with much of the same drama. After several hours of listening I was done but continued to listen as I was on the road. "

" The story is primitive, boring, and full of scientific blunders. Obviously, it was not written by Crichton. Brick's narration is as always fabulous. "
