A new puppet president elected, a sinister plot to cause a Tsunami by placing explosives charges along the Loihi fault line, designed to thrust down into the earth, moving the fault and causing the huge wave to unfold. Faced with a Secretary of the Navy and an Admiral who are working with the mysterious enemies of America, Jim Shepherd and his crew must race against time to expose the plot, provide evidence, and protect the west coast from a disaster. In the process they uncover the source of the money that won President Stevens the election, his multi-million-dollar account in Belize, his chief of staff's complicity, and a Chinese organization behind it all, using radical Jihadists to accomplish their goals for world domination.
