Synopsis

The biggest earthquake ever recorded in New Zealand occurred on 23 January 1855. It was centred in Wellington and the Wairarapa but its impact was far-reaching, north as far as Taranaki and south beyond Nelson and Marlborough. 'Magnitude Eight Plus' tells the exciting - and frightening - story of this extraordinary quake. Based on diaries and anecdotes, the book has all the immediacy of a first-person account.
