A once-vibrant university in Southern California faces its own slow decay in this first novel - part love story, part disaster tale - by Kenyon B. De Greene, Professor Emeritus at the former USC Institute of Safety and Systems Management. A lively cast of characters, including professors, administrators and students, must cope with their crumbling university and the politics that weigh everyone down, while battling their own personal demons. And when a massive earthquake hits Los Angeles, everyone must fight to survive. The disaster brings out the worst in people, as De Greene explores the interplay between human behavior and natural forces. The book can be purchased at www.xlibris.com.
