A nuclear bomb strikes at the fiery heart of Earth and, spewing molten lava, a volcano rises with unnatural speed from the ocean floor. It continues in hot spots round the globe, Hawaii, Washington DC and the Far East. Geologist Philip Mercer is the first to unravel the secrets of Vulcan's Forge.
This is a really interesting action\adventure novel that is pretty much a Clive Cussler novel. I enjoy those novels to an extent, never elevating them to a level of greatness, but I find the plots interesting. This one has a plot that rivals ANYTHING Cussler ever came up with. A clever Nazi sche...
Another cheap potboiler du Brul has apparently written to a formula. There are so many action scenes in this one, it makes the reader weary.

Mercer peered through the shimmering water still sliding from the armored glass in the ship’s wardroom. Ira Lasko was at his elbow. As his...
With no luggage except the bag of duty-free Jack Daniel’s Mercer had bought for his depleted bar, they were through Customs quickly. Ira had sent a government car to take them home. They’d agreed earlier they would drop Cali at her condo first. It had been a grueling couple of days and the promis...
