A gripping, enjoyable, disaster-movie read. The author does an admirable job of creating tension and excitement from the very beginning, while holding back enough mystery without making it feel like a cheat. Yes, there are way too many coincidences that keep the main characters in the center of all of the action. But that's what readers want and it all feels plausible. Recommended. But not just before you plan a trip to Hawaii. ( )

The Tsunami Countdown by Boyd Morrison 3.75/5

This is a very competent disaster book (I almost said movie, which I guess shows you my feelings for this book). It is a very easily digestible blend of action and disaster. This is a popcorn book that can be consumed in one go. It won’t stick with you but neither did “The Towering Inferno or The Core,” but they kept you on the edge of your seat and were worth the price of admission.

Written like a movie script, rather several movies that have already been made. Most of the plot was inprobabkle but it made for a good airplane read. ( )

Schnörkelloser Katastrophenthriller der alle Facetten des Genres bedient und flott zu lesen ist. ( )

Rogue Wave had me at the first page. Boyd Morrison doesn't fail in bringing this "edge of your seat" suspense thriller that will keep you spellbound to the very end. You'll be drawn in from page one with his very believable characters that will leave you with a lasting impression of their lives and their determination to live. In Rogue Wave Morrison has done his research and displays a true setting for a very real tsunami disaster that makes you think "it's not if, it's when."

Rogue Wave will bring to mind just how tragic the December 2004 tsunami really was and how it affected everyone across the globe. ( )
