State of Fear was a very entertaining story. It was filled up with a whole lot of suspense and drama. At the beginning of the Book the relationship between the characters George and Nick is pretty darn good. George Morton is a very very rich man who places a lot of the money he makes towards all of their environmental concerns. His charity that he gives to is NERF or the National Environmental Resource Fund. Nick Drake is the head of the NERF organization and is pretty much responsible for all the trouble that goes on in the book. Once John Kenner a know it all who is ready to bring down NERF tells George about all the wrongdoings that are occurring inside of NERF. Almost immediately after that George completely puts a halt to all the funds going into the organization. Right after that George suspiciously disappears. His car was found in a crash but he was nowhere to be found. Was it NERF/Nick Drake? You are supposed to think that he is dead throughout the whole book so now in comes Peter Evans and Sarah Jones. Peter is a lawyer and Sarah is George’s assistant. John Kenner tells them about this situation and takes them on this scary adventure with him. Not only did he take them but he brought along his assistant Sanjong Thapa. Along the way they encounter may obstacles like a 100 mile long iceberg, a flash flood, a hurricane and a tsunami all organized by NERF. While trying to stop the tsunami they run into George who was alive the whole time. In the end they prevent the tsunami go back home as heroes. George starts a new environmental company and elects both Peter and Sarah to run it and surprisingly nothing happens to Nick Drake.
