About the Book

Two geologists investigated the chances of eruption of Cumbre Vieja, a volcano, on La Palma Island, at the western end of the Spanish island chain at the turn of the century. They discovered a crack in the volcano. What the scientists' research revealed was an unimaginable event in the foreseeable future. They could only explain that it could happen at any time.The crack proved that it was moving towards the Atlantic Ocean. As the event has slowly shown itself over the years revealed that a pressure caused by rising magma heating water that was trapped within the island's structure.The scientists developed a hypothesis that the western flank of the Cumbre Viej may slide into the ocean during a future volcanic eruption.They reported that a mega wave could generate a rapidly moving mass that is approximately 1.5x1015 kilogram. They estimated that the wave could reach heights of 650 m (2,133 ft)-900 m (2,953 ft) in the area of the islands and beyond.They postulated that the tidal waves would radiate outward across the Atlantic Ocean. The wave would do that with overwhelming power clear to the eastern coast of North America in an estimated 7 hours. That process would occur at many of the islands in the Caribbean and northern coasts of South America in six to eight hours.They suspected that the mega waves well beyond the eruption region would be smaller possibly 50 m (164 ft) or higher. Their power would still cause massive devastation all along those coastlines and could move 25 km (16 mi) inland. Such mega waves would move faster than a jet aircraft and could devastate the eastern part of America and much of southern Britain from the effects of a volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands.They reported that a massive slab of rock of such a great volume as a volcano would break away from the island of La Palma. The mass would smash into the Atlantic Ocean causing a huge tidal wave. Such a wave could be larger than any wave on record.Holmes' phone rang, and the ringing woke him up screaming. He had been asleep shacking in his desk chair when it happened. More and more horror flashed in front of him in his nightmare. He jumped and yelled to no one. "The mega waves are hitting! The huge volume of water moved in a deluge in all radial directions from its origin. The horror of a mega waves is blasting through the northeast Atlantic!""Buster, what is it?" Sara yelled as she entered the home through the front door."The mega waves are hitting!" He sat down, shaking his head some more. Britain's long history has been completely wiped away as if it never existed. Western Europe has many people suffering from various degrees of radiation poisoning from the fallout of the destroyed nuclear power plants."People with the radiation poisoning will die from it in a matter of days, weeks or years. These walking dead people have short remaining life spans depending on the amount of airborne gamma rays that they inhaled or ingested. If a human ingested gamma rays the life span could be only hours.""Buster, it's another bloody nightmare you're having over all those tests you ran. The nightmares are bloody recurring ones and none of it happened. You should talk to the doctor about them."He sat down, shaking his head in his hands, and realized that no such eruption happened at all. It was a part his series of delirious nightmares because no one believed him. It was about his fear that his research findings would occur. He thought that they did not believe him because there was so little that anyone could do about it. He was someone that predicted that such a world disaster could clearly be on the way. Once again, it happened only in his dreams.He shook his head in disbelief as he realized that he dreamed about what he warned the British government. He thought about it another moment. 'Another nightmare over this, and now they are bloody recurring ones.'
