For Kip Dawson, winning a passenger seat on American Space Adventure's first commercial spaceflight is a dream come true. It's a bittersweet moment of triumph, however, muted by his wife's terror over his acceptance of the prize. A successful launch quickly turns into chaos when a micrometeor punches through the spacecraft, leaving the radios and the pilot dead. Kip is truly alone and has no way to get the ship home, so with nothing to do but wait for the end, he writes his epitaph on the ship's laptop computer. He is totally unaware of the struggle being made to rescue him or of the audience of millions who are reading his messages and tracking his every word on the Internet

A chilling look at the massive earthquakes that could strike America at any moment Far beneath the earth's surface, great tectonic plates grind against one another with incredible pressure that must--inevitably--be released. Earthquakes manifest with little warning, upending buildings, shattering infrastructure, and unleashing devastating tsunamis. In this remarkable survey of the history of seismology and the extraordinary seismic events that have occurred in the United States, Mexico, China, and other locales, author John J. Nance traces the discoveries of the scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding and predicting one of the deadliest threats known to mankind. From the Pacific Northwest to the Midwest and the East Coast, most of the United States--not just California--is in danger of a massive quake, and few citizens are adequately prepared. Through riveting firsthand interviews with earthquake survivors, and with the same command of technical detail and gripping style that he brings to his New York Times-bestselling thrillers, Nance demonstrates the need for readiness--because the next big quake could happen tomorrow
