Probably a few contenders but the first one that comes to mind is [i]Eternity[/i] by Greg Bear.
The first book in that series, [i]Eon[/i], was an absolute masterpiece. Couldn't put it down, devoured it over two days one summer holiday, and there's a line in the middle that put all the hairs up on the back of my neck (if you've read it, you'll know it).
The sequel was just some lame-arse bollocks that it took me about four attempts to give up on. Dreadful dreadful shite.
I believe there may be further sequels. I haven't read them.

@SW-User Here's the description that I read that led me to buy this garbage:
"Whales begin sinking ships. Toxic, eyeless crabs poison Long Island's water supply. The North Sea shelf collapses, killing thousands in Europe. Around the world, countries are beginning to feel the effects of the ocean's revenge as the seas and their inhabitants begin a violent revolution against mankind. At stake is the survival of the Earth's fragile ecology—and ultimately, the survival of the human race itself.
The apocalyptic catastrophes of The Day After Tomorrow meet the watery menace of The Abyss in this gripping, scientifically realistic, and utterly imaginative thriller."
Sounds cool, right? Definitely not.
I don't know what the author did, but it was so horrible and dry. I'm not one to abandon books half-way in, but with this one, I would've seriously have had a root canal done instead of reading it to the end! 😄
