A volcanic crisis meets a military secret

On Hawaiʻi’s Big Island, an eruption of unprecedented intensity brings a natural disaster into contact with a secret the U.S. military has kept for years. The novel’s central tension joins two kinds of threat: the immediate force of the volcano and the consequences of what has been concealed. Its publication also carries a distinctive backstory: Michael Crichton had been developing the project and left notes and a partial manuscript, which Sherri Crichton later brought to James Patterson to complete. The result is framed as a thriller grounded in a volcanic emergency and a long-held secret.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in suspense and thriller fiction.
  • Readers drawn to disaster scenarios involving volcanic eruptions.
  • Readers curious about novels developed from notes and a partial manuscript.

Book overview

As the Big Island of Hawai'i faces an eruption of unprecedented intensity, the U.S. military contends with the consequences of a long-held doomsday secret in this thriller by two #1 New York Times bestselling authors.

The master of the techno-blockbuster joins forces with the master of the modern thriller. Eruption is the passion project Michael Crichton, creator of Jurassic Park, ER, Twister, and Westworld, had been pursuing for years ahead of his untimely passing in 2008.

After discovering his notes and the partial manuscript, his wife, Sherri Crichton, searched for more than a decade until she found the perfect partner: James Patterson, the world's most popular storyteller.
