Title: Disappointing novel
Review: Well founded in historical scientific facts about the Cascadia Subduction Zone and authentic aviation (helicopter) jargon, it seems like Nance changed his mind about the ending and therefore the nature of his characters as he got to the end of the book, but he didn't bother to go back and rewrite to achieve consistency. Total disconnect between the character in chapter one and the character at the end of the book.Perhaps he's trying to take a free ride on his good (but rapidly deteriorating) reputation and on current events, namely the recent tsunami in Indonesia. ($pell that t$unami.)Repetitive geologic jargon, repetitive helicopter jargon, unlikely shamanic mysticism, confused, contradictory characters, surprisingly foolish helicopter escapades, and just plain bad writing make this the first of Nance's books (but I've only read two or three) that is embarrassingly bad. Should never have seen the light of day.Did Patricia Davenport, his "in-house editor," even bother to read it?
