Cascadia's Fault: The Deadly Earthquake That Will Devastate North

Introduction by Simon Winchester

National Bestseller

With a New Afterword by the Author on the 2011 Tohoku Disaster

Cascadia’s fault is virtually identical to the tectonic time bomb that most recently decimated Japan in 2011. It will generate the same kind of earthquake, at magnitude nine or higher. From the shores of British Columbia all the way to California, buildings will be shaken and crushed by a megathrust earthquake, and a tsunami will speed both inland and across the Pacific, tossing cars, smashing homes, crippling infrastructure, and killing or wounding thousands as it destroys almost everything in its path. Written by a journalist who has been following this story for twenty-five years, Cascadia’s Fault tells the tale of this potentially devastating earthquake and the killer waves it will spawn.
