Resumen del Editor

California is a land divided by an 800 mile long rupture known as the San Andreas Fault.

The state’s heart, the Central Valley, hasn’t experienced the fault’s full fury, at least not in modern times.

Until now.

A standalone disaster thriller from international best-selling author, Bobby Akart, one of America's favorite storytellers, who delivers up-all-night thrillers to listeners in 245 countries and territories worldwide.

Several years ago, an ARkStorm, a once-in-a-thousand-years flood event caused by a series of intense atmospheric rivers, flooded the Central Valley of California from Sacramento to what was once Los Angeles. The weight of the water was equivalent to the volume generated by the Mississippi River times 22. It challenged an already fragile seismic system consisting of hundreds of active faults.

ARkStorm, the Other Big One, was leading to another epic catastrophic event, one that would rip the state apart. What was once deemed a slow and silent rupture of California's sleeping giant, the San Andreas fault line, has changed dramatically since the ARkStorm. It has awakened.

Mac Atwood warned that an earthquake along these stressed fault lines wouldn’t just rattle buildings. It would rip the state apart, sucking the lake and the land around it into the earth.

If only they had only listened.

This modern-day, fact-based novel will have you whispering just one more chapter until the end.

worth reading

loved the story line. it was slow getting startedi, but couldn't put it afterwards.

I couldn’t stop listening!

Fractured had me from the first paragraph and kept me listening long after I should have gone to sleep. The story is exciting and fast moving, full of interesting facts about fault lines and tremors. The characters are compelling and make you want to know how they survive. The ending is a little sappy, but the rest is quite dramatic. I like this narrator, too.

Love it

This book has been just amazing keeping me listening without a break from beginning to end. It was such an interesting book. I loved the characters who at time made me laugh and hold my breath at other times! Highly recommend this book!

These books offer a huge amount of information.

I like the author's writing and information but I would like to have less teaching and more story telling. It is refreshing to read clean books for a change too.

Loved

I loved this book by Bobby Akart. I also loved the characters. I can’t wait for the next book by this author. I would recommend this book and all of Bobby’s books. I listened to this book on audiobook.

Excellent listen

Great blending of real world characters complete with their own traits, fears, and beliefs. Good blend of story/character development, intense action, and human frailties of love in trying times.

This book could have been better

There was a lot of potential here. The disaster was not the focus in the end and that was really disappointing. The love story felt rushed and was the focus of the whole end.

Once again…..

The only bad thing I can say about Bobby’s books is that they make me sad when they end. And the wait begins….

Another hit!

Thank you, Bobby Akart, for continuing to write stories that draw me into them! The characters are witty and fun. I love all the science and history that you include in your books! I’m always sad when I finish because I don’t want them to end! This book had all of them! I couldn’t put it down!

Great story!

Very factual and great job telling the story.
The characters were interesting and great backstory.
