  Eruption is a thrilling fusion of two master storytellers at the top of their game. Set against the backdrop of the Big Island of Hawai'i, the novel plunges readers into a volcanic eruption of unprecedented intensity, with the U.S. military grappling with the fallout of a long-held doomsday secret. This book is the perfect hybrid of James Patterson’s fast-paced, page-turning style and Michael Crichton’s signature scientific depth. Patterson’s knack for suspense keeps you hooked from one chapter to the next, while Crichton’s meticulous attention to scientific detail gives the story a grounding in reality that makes the stakes feel all the more urgent. Discovering Crichton’s notes and partial manuscript, his wife Sherri Crichton spent over a decade finding the ideal collaborator—James Patterson—to bring the vision to life. The result is a novel that not only delivers pulse-pounding action but also honors Crichton’s legacy in a truly meaningful way. For fans of either author—or ...

  On Behalf of All Women is a fast-paced, thrilling read that keeps you turning pages.

It’s a fun, darkly entertaining read that balances intrigue with a dash of schadenfreude, perfect for anyone who enjoys a suspenseful thriller that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

But peace is quickly replaced with terror as a feral, flesh-hungry family emerges from the surrounding woods, unleashing chaos, carnage, and survival-driven madness. This was my second Ketchum novel, and once again, I found myself impressed by his raw and unapologetic storytelling style. His prose is lean and direct, creating a steady undercurrent of dread that explodes into graphic brutality once the action begins. Ketchum doesn’t pull punches—he knows how to disturb, shock, and keep you flipping the pages even when you want to look away. That said, the pacing shifts drastically once the horror kicks in. While the build-up is effective and tense, the...
