As the Big Island of Hawai'i faces an eruption of unprecedented intensity, the U.S. military contends with the consequences of a long-held doomsday secret.
The master of the techno-blockbuster joins forces with the master of the modern thriller. Eruption is the passion project Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER,
Twister, and Westworld, had been pursuing for years ahead of his untimely passing in 2008. After discovering his notes and the partial manuscript, his wife, Sherri Crichton, searched
for more than a decade until she found the perfect partner: James Patterson, the world’s most popular storyteller.

“Red-hot storytelling…The action scenes will make readers’ eyes pop as the tension continues to build.” —Kirkus (starred review)
“Fast-paced and deeply considered…A cinematic story rooted in science and infused with plenty of heart, tackling big themes like love and loss.”—Time
