An island in the Japanese archipelago vanishes overnight, prompting an investigating scientist to consider whether the entire country could be in danger. First published in 1973, the novel is noted for anticipating the consequences later associated with the 1995 Osaka-Kobe earthquake.

Japan Sinks won the Mystery Writers of Japan Award and the Seiun Award, and has been described by The New York Times as “a chillingly realistic work of science fiction”. Suitable for adult readers of science fiction and literature & fiction.
