St. Simons Island, Georgia, has never been hit by a Category 5 hurricane. Until now. No one predicted the storm's sudden force. A crippled Air Force recon plane, trapped in the eye of a violent hurricane. An outspoken tropical weather forecaster, fired from his network TV job before he can issue a warning: the storm is changing course and intensifying. A desperate family searching for a runaway daughter on Georgia's posh St. Simons Island, cut off from escape as the hurricane roars toward them. A marriage on the rocks; an unrequited sexual attraction; a May-December romance. All will be swept up by the monster storm. Get ready for a white-knuckle adventure. "You can't put it down." -- Jack Williams, science author and founding weather editor at USA Today "Riveting. Intrigue, power struggles [and] frightening reality from several perspectives. Eyewall will keep you more than interested."-- Marshall Seese, retired anchorman and meteorologist, The Weather Channel.
