About this listen

A catastrophic megaquake. An unforgiving tsunami. A family caught in the middle.

Clint Redshaw walks into a port facility meeting expecting an ordinary day arguing about the budget. When the shaking starts, he keeps calm. But as the tremors stretch on and on, the ground rips apart, the dock disintegrates, and chunks of land fall into the Strait. When the quake finally ends, there's only one thing on his mind: his daughter.

Mika's singing songs and laughing with a gaggle of other sixteen-year-olds as they climb into the Pacific Northwest mountains for a scout weekend. One minute, it's sunshine and good vibes, and the next, it's screaming and chaos as a landslide careens down the mountainside, heading straight for the van.

Daphne's multiple floors up in a high-rise conference room when the water in her glass ripples. Four minutes later, everyone around her is dead or injured, and she thinks she's lucky to have survived. Little does she know, it's only the beginning.

With a wave of water about to inundate the greater Seattle metro, it's a race against time to survive. Clint, Mika, and Daphne Redshaw dig deep to find their inner strength and courage to not only survive the big one but find their way back to each other.

Upheaval is book one in the Fault Lines series, an apocalyptic disaster thriller series following ordinary people struggling to survive when a megaquake plunges the Pacific Northwest into chaos.

I liked it was well written and not your typical apocalyptic emp or prepper in 50 different modes but still the same old story. Different and entertaining. Recommend.

A good listen

I don’t know who narrates Mika’s chapters but it ruined the whole audiobook for me. I’m going to give reading it a try, as I kept forwarding whole chapters because of her. So annoying I couldn’t concentrate. I wish I knew who it was to avoid buying others. The story is good though. H Tate is definitely one of my favorite authors of the genre.

Mika’s Narrator ruined it for me

I was really looking forward to this book. So much so that I pre ordered it. Natural disaster books always catch my interest. That being said there were a few things that didn’t sit well.

The voice talent for Mika was difficult to listen to. I understand that she was portraying a 16 year old but the quivering quality of her voice was hard to listen to. The voice talents for Clint and Daphne were very well done, however.

The descriptions of the events were mostly well done, but the characters would spend a lot of time drifting off in thought in the midst of all of it, making it seem like what was happening really wasn’t such a big deal.

There were several times that I had to turn the book off because of the absolute absurdity of some of the supporting characters. I seriously doubt that someone would tell me “you’re gonna have to pay for that, you know” after I accidentally dented their car while FLEEING from a visible tsunami!

I was left at the end of this book feeling like the events that happened were only isolated in one area and not such a big deal as it is portrayed or hyped up to be. This book is supposed to be about the failure of the Cascadia Subduction Zone and somehow nobody living there knows what to do? An earthquake of that magnitude and the resulting after events would have worldwide impacts.

I ultimately remain neutral about this book. I like the premise, but the author really seemed to struggle with portraying the hugeness of the event at hand and the characters were limited and unfortunately disposable because there was no attachment to any of them.

3.5 I enjoyed this book. It did a really good job of explaining the earthquake and devastation. The characters were a bit flat, but overall, it was a quick and good read.

Well done!

This story starts off decent. Once the action happens though both parents become idiots. I get building suspense but make it believable. I don't know who approved multiple instillations of this story.

Yeah No
