About Crust by Richard F Corrigan
Emotionally flawed but genius scientist Jon Argus, confined to a rundown, orbiting space station knows that death will come to tens of thousands, millions will become homeless, scores will be forced into bankruptcy, and the surface of the earth and beneath, including its fragile ecosystems, will become unrecognizable; but only his twelve-year-old daughter believes his prediction. A manmade event will cause the crust of the earth to shift and move Greenland, Antarctica, and the polar ice caps to the Equator. The rotation will accelerate ice melt, reform the continents, and transport the earth’s mantle and Magnetic North 90° south—endangering humanity. A mysterious enemy, whose goal is to capitalize on the impending catastrophe, suddenly surfaces, and to insure the warning is concealed from the world, activates a plan to kill Argus’s ex-wife and daughter. Argus has to conquer his emotional demons, convince the world of the imminent cataclysm, escape the sabotaged space station, and save his family before the unthinkable happens.
