"(H)e has written so engagingly discursive an account of the events leading up to the cataclysm - which finally occurs, after a masterful build-up of literary and geological tension, only on page 234 - that it is impossible to be so harsh."This is bracingly apocalyptic stuff, orchestrated by a very steady hand: atmospheric, chock-full of information and with a constantly escalating sense of pace and tension." - John Preston, Daily Telegraph."Though the style may at times seem a little overblown, there is no doubt that, where the research is concerned, the money is all up on the screen." - Simon Caterson, The Age. The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883Ī- : enjoyable and interesting, very well presented.General information | review summaries | our review | links | about the author Trying to meet all your book preview and review needs.
