"Crichton's scientific research on global warming is impressive in this book, but the story itself is nothing new.
Essentially, a multi-millionaire goes missing and his lawyer gets wrapped up in an investigation that takes him around the world to uncover how a secret group of scientists plan to cause natural disasters using modern technology. The climatic event in the book is supposed to be a man-made tsunami offshore of the Solomon Islands that would reach the west coast of the United States. Of course, the main characters interrupt the plan and save the world, but what I found interesting is that this book was published before much of the world was aware of the danger of tsunamis made known by the devastating December 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia.
The author does a good job at presenting evidence and data refuting the idea of global warming all together, despite the current trend to believe otherwise.
If you're interested in the topic of global warming this book may be up your alley. If you're solely looking for a quick novel, look somewhere else." amazon
