Subduction: A Scott Tanner Thriller

Three hundred years ago a massive subduction earthquake struck off the Oregon Coast. The Cascadia Subduction Zone extends approximately sixty miles off shore for six-hundred miles along the entire length of Washington and Oregon. The massive tsunami extended a mile inland along the entire coastline of Oregon and Washington and traveled 7,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean inundating the coastline of Japan. Indian villages along Washington and Oregon beaches were destroyed, leaving in the wake of the tsunami, ghost forests which remain to this day.Treasure hunter, Scott Tanner is trying to solve a mystery of a shipwreck off the coast of Oregon. In fact, he has discovered a ship and a submarine in the same debris field, suggesting the two wrecks are linked together, but how? Making the mystery even more perplexing, Scott’s research suggests the submarine may be a German U-boat, not known to operate in the pacific during the war. Unless there is treasure aboard, David Stafford, Scott’s wealthy partner is not interested in the historical significance of the find and Scott must convince him, some treasure cannot be measured in monetary worth, if he wants to continue the mission.The discovery sends Scott and his partner on a wild chase to unravel the mystery dating back to the final days of World War II, but their attempts to answer their questions are threatened by the precarious location of the find, deep in the Pacific near the Cascadia Subduction Zone. As Scott and David try to unravel the mystery of the intertwined wrecks, they become aware that the discovery could change history, but as the earth starts to move, it could also cost them their lives.In the meantime, Scott’s wife, Romance Fiction writer Patricia Westland, is researching a new book with an oceanographer as the love interest for her main character. An interview with local marine scientists reveals a subduction earthquake, and the resulting tsunami could put their lives at risk and destroy the ocean front home Scott had built.Read more
