In Guatemala, US Geological Survey volcanologist Rick Mathews
leads a team of four from Guatemala City to determine whether dormant Atitlán is
about to erupt. However, as they reach
their destination, men fire shots killing Rick, volcanologist in training Oliver
Pelletier and their security guard. The
other member of the party, fortyish photographer Stephanie VanGelder shoots pictures
of the deadly assault before hiding in the forest while praying for her life.
Donovan Nash’s estranged wife Lauren sends FBI Agent Charles to
Montana to inform him that his childhood summer buddy Stephanie went missing in
Guatemala. Not wasting a moment, Nash
and an Eco-Watch team head to Atitlán even as the mountain erupts; at the same
time Lauren looks into the criminal activity of those seemingly involved with
Stephanie’s apparent kidnapping.
Series fans need to wear a seatbelt while reading the adrenaline pumping,
faster than the speed of light fifth Donovan Nash thriller (see Deadly Echoes and Zero
Separation). Though
literally (by air) and figuratively over the top of the volcano, Aftershock is an action-filled
tale with no respites.
