Richter 10 by Arthur C Clarke and Mike McQuay. Paperback edition published by Vista in 1996 (reprint). Signed by Arthur C Clarke on the main title page. We have no direct provenance for the signature but it appears very similar to other examples and we have no reason to doubt it's authenticity.

When he was seven years old, Lewis Crane survived the Los Angeles earthquake of 1994—but his parents did not. Haunted by the tragedy, Crane has dedicated his life to protecting humanity from similar disasters. Now he is a Nobel Prize–winning earthquake scientist who perfected equipment sensitive enough to predict an earthquake strike down to the minute. And he wants to go further.

Crane has formed an organization to explore the idea of stopping earthquakes entirely by fusing the Earth’s tectonic plates together. But what effect will this have on the earth? And as political unrest causes tremors of another kind, can Crane’s audacious plan stop another major earthquake due to hit the United States?

Excellent general condition, appears unread. Pages just slightly yellowed but clean and tightly bound. Very little wear to the covers or spine.
