It is time for the Northwest United States to pack their ‘go bags’! Cascadia by Buzz Bernard has arrived!
Cascadia, the new release from disaster thriller author Buzz Bernard will sound the alarm for those of Northern California to Vancouver, but Oregon’s 4 million residents best have an evacuation plan…
Is the Pacific Northwest overdue for a huge quake and tsunami, or will the region remain safe for hundreds of years yet to come? No one knows…or does someone?
Dr. Rob Elwood, a geologist whose specialty is earthquakes and tsunamis, is having nightmares of “the big one,” which are way too real to disregard. His friend, counselor and retired reverend does not think he is nuts. Just the contrary, he believes them to be premonitions to be taken seriously. No one else does, however, even after a press conference.
Some live to regret it, most don’t.
In addition to this storyline, we have a remorseful, retired fighter pilot who is attempting a twenty-five-year-old late apology and Neahkahnie Johnny who has been in search of a legendary treasure chest, buried since the late 1600s, most of his life.
All are about to live Rob’s nightmare.
