Publisher's Synopsis

The catastrophic power of a giant hurricane can raise coastal waves thirty feet high and blow through houses at devastating speeds. Meteorologist Perry Stuart chiefly predicts periods of English drizzle, with bursts of heavier rain and sunshine to follow. His life is calm and ordered, his face familiar to every British household. Stuart's profound weather knowledge and accuracy has given him high status among forecasters, but no physical baptism by storm. Not, that is, until he is offered a Caribbean hurricane-chasing ride in a small aeroplane as a holiday diversion. But Stuart learns more secrets from the flight than wind speeds - and back home in England faces threats and dangers as deadly as anything nature can evolve.
