{"product_id":"9798233935770","title":"Fault Lines","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen the ground starts to move, the real danger isn't the earthquake-it's who chose not to listen.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Kenji Sato is a structural geologist who spends his life tracking micro-earthquakes no one else takes seriously. Hired to assess a luxury high-rise in Seattle, he discovers dangerous fault-line fractures hidden beneath the city's bedrock. His warning is ignored. The developer fires him. Construction continues. When a minor quake cracks the foundation exactly as Kenji predicted, he releases a whistleblower report-only to watch his data disappear, his apartment condemned, and his credibility quietly dismantled. Someone is erasing the evidence, and they're very good at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Kenji uncovers falsified seismic reports generated by AI and decorative facades concealing structural failure across multiple developments, he realizes this isn't negligence-it's a system. A corporate eco-conspiracy built on calculated risk, silenced experts, and the belief that profit justifies collapse. When a geology student dies under suspicious circumstances and a major earthquake strikes, Kenji faces an impossible choice: follow emergency protocol or trust his own calculations that say evacuation will kill people. Labeled obsessive, inflexible, and unstable, he must act while the city doubts him-and the ground counts down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAULT LINES\u003c\/strong\u003e is a high-stakes eco-thriller about corporate corruption, ignored warnings, and the cost of being right in a world that prefers convenience over truth. Blending scientific realism with relentless suspense, this novel delivers a neurodiverse protagonist whose precision saves lives, a corporate antagonist who believes risk can be averaged away, and a climax where data-not power-decides who survives. If you enjoy intelligent thrillers, corporate conspiracy fiction, disaster-driven suspense, and stories where evidence matters, this is a novel that will stay with you long after the ground settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Readers Are Saying\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e★★★★★ \u003cem\u003e\"A razor-sharp eco-thriller that feels terrifyingly real.
