Due to its high seismic activity, Japan experiences occasional tremors that are usually not considered alarming. The country is well-prepared for such events, but there is one scientist who claims to have evidence that suggests a recent earthquake has triggered a catastrophic phenomenon that will cause Japan to sink into the sea within a year. The challenge for him is to persuade others to believe in his theory before it's too late.
Based on the same-titled novel and film, Japan Sinks is a gripping and intricate tale that takes time to build up before delving into the heart of the matter. Nonetheless, it is brilliantly written and definitely worth the effort.
