Desperation Point

By Clington Quamie

Book Overview

On a breathtakingly beautiful island, nestled among majestic mountains and lush landscapes, four teenagers set out on what they believe will be a routine hiking adventure. Unbeknownst to them, their journey is about to intersect with the wrath of a catastrophic earthquake that will alter the course of their lives forever.
Years later, the once carefree friends are now ensnared in a relentless series of natural calamities. From an unceasingly violent hurricane to the terrifying rumblings of a colossal volcano, their lives are marked by relentless challenges. As the chaos unfolds, Robert Cullingberg finds himself torn between two powerful women: Kaila Bronson, his childhood friend and a brilliant storm specialist who has always been his anchor, and Erika Hafez, a passionate and intelligent young professor at Ross University.
As the volcanic threat looms ever larger, the ruling government hides the impending danger from the public, choosing to keep the perilous truth a secret to sway the upcoming election. Meanwhile, the opposition party battles tirelessly to expose the truth and save lives.
In a world where trust is scarce and every decision is a gamble, Robert, Kaila, and Erika must navigate their complex relationships and the escalating disaster around them. As the volcano's eruption draws closer, the stakes are higher than ever, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and make choices that will determine not only their survival but the fate of the island itself.
