When Nathan and his brilliant autistic brother Joshua scour a city park for treasure with Joshua’s customized metal detector, they uncover more than coins and lost keys—they intercept a chilling conversation buried in the radio frequencies. Voices. Plans. A threat to obliterate half of California.
At the same time, Special Agent Anne Tyler is pulled into the shadows by a covert FBI unit tasked with tracking cyberterrorists and global threats the world never hears about. Something is stirring deep within the dark web—an ominous buzz surrounding an impending catastrophe. A plot so bold it could reshape the American West forever.
The target? The San Andreas Fault.
The threat? Detonation of underground explosives that could trigger a cataclysmic earthquake, devastating the state unless the government pays an unthinkable ransom.
Behind it all is Boris Velchik—a ruthless former operative who’s built an underground army of mercenaries just like cold, calculating, and ready to burn the world to the ground.
As time runs out, a teenage hacker, a hidden FBI unit, and a lone undercover agent are all that stand between order and chaos. But when the mission pushes Agent Tyler to the edge, she’ll have to confront not just the enemy—but the darkness within herself.
Fault Line is a high-octane thriller where science, espionage, and psychological tension collide. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Daniel Silva, and 24, this gripping novel what happens when the ground beneath you becomes the weapon?
