Earthquake and Other Stories Arthur Stevenson

Read about the impact of war, natural disasters and organised crime on human society in this set of exciting short stories. You'll find a surprising and fascinating element of the supernatural too. Drawing on real-life scenarios, the author creates a terrifying picture in the story "Earthquake" where the casualties are unimaginably high after several volcanic eruptions and violent tremors. The action is seen from the rescuers' point of view - the heroic members of a helicopter crew. How many of the trapped and injured can they reach in time? In "Invasion", life in the UK is in turmoil after the whole country finds itself in enemy hands. The United Nations can only issue resolutions; no country dares to take action since nuclear war might be the outcome. A resistance movement is formed despite the dangers. With great determination and ingenuity they arm themselves with an amazing array of weapons. But will their battle campaign defeat the enemy?
