This book has been in my science fiction collection since I was six years old. You see, I loved the cover but somehow I never got around to reading the book but now after many decades I finally read it. An earthquake kills 95,000 vacationers. Who knew? Well it seems that someone did know! He even tried to warn people. But no one believes a nut who believes that he can predict earthquakes. Now he is warning that London is next. So who would want to kill a man trying to save millions of lives? And how do you stop something unstoppable? To make things worse, politics may be involved. Politics! Good thing I read this when I was an adult… ( )

an interesting idea. the personal side(acting prime minister and newspaper editor hating each other) of the story was kind of superfluous. the word pictures of the victims were very good. i didn't of course like the playing around with time. ( )
