Description:
When a hurricane-chasing plane is downed on a Caribbean island, TV meteorologist Perry Stuart barely escapes with his life. But he can't escape what he saw on the island--and if the people who've tracked him back to England have their way, Stuart will have a zero percent chance of survival.
Review:
Born out of a meeting with TV weatherman John Kettley, and a close encounter with hurricaine Mitch whilst researching in his caribbean home, this book, amazingly, is Dick Francis's 40th. A bit of a departure for a veteran of the racing world, it deals with the calm life of TV meteorologist Perry Stuart which is turned upside down by a seemingly innocent ride in a hurricane chaser's plane.Born out of a meeting with TV weatherman John Kettley, and a close encounter with hurricaine Mitch whilst researching in his caribbean home, this book, amazingly, is Dick Francis's 40th.
