EPICENTRE: HONG KONGNo one believed The Big One was coming ... Following a series of misadventures in the Scottish Highlands, the impetuous geologist, Dr Ewan MacLeod, arrives in Hong Kong to work on a deep tunnel project. From routine site investigations he soon uncovers evidence that a majorearthquake could soon be unleashed upon the over-crowded territory with its population of seven million and 60,000 highrise buildings, not to mention an ageing nuclear power station upwind, just across the border. His attempts to warn the authorities lead him to confrontation, tragedy and, ultimately, to facing his own destiny.An absolutely riveting, realistic story told with a humane touch and much humour. It might sail a bit close to the wind for some people in Hong Kong though.- Peter Arbon, Structural Engineer for Earthquake DesignMy initial scepticism quickly evolved into inquisitiveness as I devoured this exciting story. - Anthony Sisay
