This Is A New Release Of The Original 1896 Edition.
Earth's demise may not come from the skies. It most likely will
come from within. Not since the infancy of our solar system has
Earth undergone such titanic geological upheavals. Rift zones are
tearing the world apart, tectonic plates rampage under land masses
causing earthquakes of immeasurable magnitude, continents being
split into pieces then consumed by half-mile high tsunamis. Earth's
lands have ceased to exist except for three insignificant stubs of
land; a scant remnant of Montana where vacationing Ross Nielson has
joined up with a group of picnicking school children. Another is a
9,000 seamount in the bay of Ecuador housing a team of geologists,
and the third an uninhabited dot of Australia. The Montana and
Ecuador survivors, a family cruising the Pacific on their yacht,
and the remnant crew of a devastated Coast Guard ship bring the
Earth's total known population to fifty. Intimate snapshots of an
estranged father and son on the verge of a reunion, an airliner's
crew, a Hawaiian priest and a revenge-seeking girl sketch the
poignancy of their last hours before being claimed by this
unprecedented catastrophe.
