The catastrophic power of a giant hurricane can raise coastal waves 30 feet high and blow through houses at amazing speeds. When meteorologist Perry Stuart goes on a hurricane-chasing ride in the Caribbean, he learns about more than wind speed.Now resident in the Caribbean, Francis didn't have to go very far to research his fortieth novel when his island home was nudged by Hurricane Mitch in November 1998. His first for two years and therefore even more keenly awaited than usual by his army of fans, the central character, a meteorologist more used to occasional showers and the odd ground frost, is offered a ride in a small aeroplane chasing a hurricane in the Caribbean, an experience that doesn't prepare him for the even deadlier dangers that face him on his return to England. An audio reading by Martin Jarvis is published simultaneously by Penguin Audio.
