reread 30/3/24. Still a great read. About the dangerous efforts of a man who has been hiding from his past in a commune in remote part of California for 25 years. When his community is threatened with eviction because of the building of a dam in their leased valley he decides to threaten the Governor with causing earthquakes if all future construction of power stations is not halted. The tension of the story is kept up with some milder interpersonal interactions that soften the story. ( )

What would you do to save your lifestyle? Could you create an earthquake? Would you create an earthquake with destruction and death? That's the premise of this book and of course you are pulled right into the narrative right from the start. Any book by Ken Follett is a winner. ( )

Neben Stephen King hat also auch Ken Follett die 60-er-Jahre zum Aufhänger eines Romans gemacht. Seine Protagonisten dieser Generation sind jedoch bestenfalls kauzige, ich-bezogene Outlaws, die ihr Gegenüber in einem intriganten FBI-Apparat haben. Natürlich gibt es auch einige "Gute", wie die oben erwähnte Beamtin, aber deren Persönlichkeiten sind auch nicht gerade mit Tiefe ausgestattet. So unwahrscheinlich es auch sein mag, Erdbeben auszulösen, ohne gleich Atombomben einzusetzen, gelingt es Follett hier einmal mehr, so etwas wie eine innere Plausibilität herzustellen und damit alle Leser einzufangen.
