Deep Fire Rising

I like discovering new authors I enjoy - and Jack DuBrul is definitely going on my list. My dad loaned me this book - saying it was particularly interesting considering the recent events in Indonesia. The book is fast-paced and extremely interesting. Our hero, Phillip Mercer, is a world-renowned geologist (who is also the hero of several other DuBrul novels) who is pulled into a top-secret project at the infamous Area 51. We have a secret Order who can somehow predict natural disasters and yet does nothing to stop them, a mysterious underground experiment gone wrong, and a doomsday event prediction that is eerily similar to the recent tsunami in Indian Ocean. Overall it was a suspenseful read ... and I'll be picking up a few more DuBrul novels for a great weekend read!
