The biggest thriller of 2024: A history-making eruption is about to destroy the Big Island of Hawaii. But a secret held for decades by the US military is far more terrifying than any volcano. The master of the techno-thriller joins forces with the master of the modern thriller to create the most anticipated mega thriller in years. Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld , had a passion project he'd been pursuing for years, ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. Knowing how special it was, his wife, Sherri Crichton, held back his notes and the partial manuscript until she found the right author to complete it: James Patterson, the world's most popular storyteller.
