Description
Deep in the mid-Pacific, an ancient undersea volcano comes to life. Leading scientists predict the volcano will subside and go dormant, but seismologist Dr. Leilani Sanches is alarmed. Her advanced computer model shows the volcano will build to a monster explosion and trigger a tsunami massive enough to wipe out the Southern California coast.
Her theory is fiercely opposed by a jealous scientific establishment and powerful special interests who think a tsunami scare will hurt business. Her efforts to warn the public are blocked.
Coast Guard Commander Dave Steel believes she is right and becomes her ally in a race against time. Leilani and Dave meet the violence of nature and the violence of their enemies head on, and put their lives on the line in a frantic struggle to move five million people away from the coast before disaster strikes.
REVIEWS
"TSUNAMI starts with a bang and the reader is off on a 300 page wild adventure. I could not put it down. I know this is a cliché, but I have to say it anyway. TSUNAMI is a page turner."
Simon Barrett, Online Book Reviews
"I loved this book. If you want to be entertained, intrigued, and enthralled by the dual plot of nature versus man, and greed versus the good of man, then you will love it, too."

"Gordon Gumpertz takes us on this thrilling journey of seismography and volcanology and of parallel lives that unexpectedly intersect. From sabotage to smuggling, as well as a little romance, it's all included in this contemporary page turner."
Kate Greenwood, TCM Reviews
"It takes a special writing skill to bring these types of events to life on the written page, and Gordon Gumpertz does an excellent job of making me feel as though I am RIGHT there in the thick of things! This book is fantastic."

"TSUNAMI reads like a made for TV movie and rises above the typical natural disaster story by providing memorable and believable characters. I thoroughly enjoyed TSUNAMI and would definitely watch it if it was ever turned into a miniseries."
Sarah Sammis, Puss Reboots Online
With an authentic grasp of his subject, Gordon Gumpertz weaves together scientific and social truths throughout this action-packed adventure novel. Given the book's drama and realism, TSUNAMI may call for a genre of its own – scientific thriller.
