“Reisner manages the nearly impossible feat of explaining geopolitical history, hydro-engineering, plate tectonics and comparative seismology in an engaging, delightfully literate fashion. This important book will appeal to many, including those outside the Golden State. Environmentalists will naturally go for it, but Reisner’s witty, concise prose will attract general readers, too.” —Publishers Weekly
“This posthumous work by the author of the award-winning Cadillac Desert is a fitting tribute to his environmental concerns and the power of his writing.” —Library Journal
“Nothing Stephen King has ever written is nearly as frightening.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune
