Cascadia's Fault

Introduction by Simon WinchesterNational BestsellerWith a New Afterword by the Author on the 2011 Tohoku DisasterCascadia’s fault is virtually identical to the tectonic time bomb that most recently decimated Japan in 2011. It will generate the same kind of earthquake at magnitude nine or higher. From the shores of British Columbia all the way to California buildings will be shaken and crushed by a megathrust earthquake and a tsunami will speed both inland and across the Pacific tossing cars smashing homes crippling infrastructure and killing or wounding thousands as it destroys almost everything in its path. Written by a journalist who has been following this story for twenty-five years Cascadia’s Fault tells the tale of this potentially devastating earthquake and the killer waves it will spawn.
