Mauna Loa is building toward an eruption bigger than anything on record. The military knows something the public does not: what it stored on the island decades ago, and what happens if the lava reaches it. The book runs on a countdown from there.
Michael Crichton left notes and a partial manuscript when he died in 2008. His wife, Sherri Crichton, eventually brought the project to James Patterson, who finished it. Paperback, 432 pages, from Little, Brown, published July 2025. Kirkus gave it a starred review.
Closer to Jurassic Park in feel than to Patterson’s detective books.
