Richter 10 — Arthur C. Clarke; Mike McQuay

The Big One is coming. And only seismologist Lewis Crane can prove it. He's developed a unique theory of earthquake prediction. He knows where Richter 10 will strike. He knows when. He even knows how to stop it. But will anyone believe him? In a world run by Chinese corporations and split along racial and religious lines, there are many who don't want him to succeed--those who think the quake represents God's will. Crane has lost everything: his family, his reputation, his best friend, and the woman he loves. He's not about to lose this battle. If he does, America and the world will never be the same.
