Synopsis

Beneath the Pacific Ocean, a volcano surges upward, carrying in its fiery heart a mineral more powerful than uranium. When the volcano breaks the ocean’s surface, America and other nations will battle to control what is known as Vulcan’s Forge, a source of limitless, clean, nuclear power.The secret of Vulcan’s Forge begins to unravel when Mercer, a man of many talents now working for the United States Geologic Survey, learns that the daughter of an old friend is in danger. Saving her takes Mercer from the Oval Office to a secret submarine off Hawaii. On the islands, the secession movement, controlled by a megalomaniac Japanese multimillionaire, has turned violent, and the United States trembles on the brink of civil war.

Goodreads review by Kym on April 03, 2022

Hadn't read this author before but picked it up because it has a storyline of a volcano being created in the Pacific close to the Hawaiian Islands. While the book did have a storyline that centered on this volcano, it was more of a good mystery and while not a 5 star, 4 is good. I had put it down to......more

Goodreads review by Dee on October 26, 2011

I was disappointed with this one as I've known Jack DuBrul as an author through his work with Clive Cussler on the Oregon series, which is my favourite of all Cussler's series.
