Carter Thompson, an unassuming yet clearly disturbed billionaire with a political vendetta, chooses weather manipulation as his weapon of revenge. He creates Hurricane Simone, the biggest storm in recorded history.
When she hits New York City, skyscrapers will fall, subways and tunnels will flood , and most of the city will disappear under thirty feet of water. It’s up to meteorologist Kate Sherman and CIA weatherman Jake Baxter to try to stop Simone using a secret U.S. Navy weapon. The only catch is that it must be deployed inside the hurricane.

“…a scheme worthy of a cat-stroking James Bond villain. …Fast-paced storytelling … A satisfying … thriller about fooling with Mother Nature.” -- Kirkus Reviews
