This is a very personal novel to me. I wrote it after our experiences during Hurricane Isabel in our old 100 year old house in Hertford, NC. It also includes experiences from my time in the US Navy. The original publisher, Five Star / Gale – gave it a very young-adultish cover (Publishers Weekly called that unfortunate).
Tugging heartstrings with the expertise of a master puppeteer, Wilson, a former naval technician, adds plenty of authentic touches but never overwhelms the reader with details. The clean prose, romance and fantasy elements, heart-pounding scenes of man against nature, and topical currency (thankfully not overplayed) will appeal to a wide variety of readers – Publishers Weekly
A young girl, Andrea Jamieson, loses her father, who is trying to rescue a neighbor during a hurricane. She grows up to become a hurricane ”hunter” and, through her own efforts and those of her husband and colleagues, accidentally creates the largest hurricane in history. Then it disappears in the Devil’s Triangle. So does her husband, flying over the storm to drop Silver Iodide crystals into the eye.
Then, 30 years later, the storm – and the plane – are back. Andrea has a new weapon, a series of pumps, that might stop or divert the storm, but there’s little time, and all she really wants to do is track that plane that’s been gone so long – and reunite with her long-lost husband.
