"Remember the movie "The Day after Tomorrow"? It was a classic
big-weather story, full of catastrophic special effects. This
novel, written by veteran meteorologist Evans and technological
writer Jameson, is exactly the same kind of story, in print form.
Just sit back and let the action wash over you. The book is a
fast-paced action-adventure that promises a rousing finale and
delivers it."--"Booklist"
"Evans, a meteorologist for New York's WABC-TV, and novelist
Jameson pit a posse of diverse weatherfolk against Simone, a storm
of unheard-of magnitude that's headed straight for Manhattan. The
authors meticulously lay their fictional and scientific groundwork.
Weather nerds should have a good time from beginning to
end."--"Publishers Weekly"

What would happen if a massive super-storm hit New York City? And what if the storm's ferocity were enhanced by human activity? This is the premise of this debut thriller by Evans, an Emmy Award-winning meteorologist, and Jameson, a writer with experience in the aerospace industry. In the authors' apocalyptic scenario, much of New York would be destroyed. Buildings would topple, tunnels would flood, and the death toll would be enormous. Unfortunately, it takes a long time for both the storm and the overcomplicated plot to develop; instead, the storm serves more as a malevolent background presence grinding its way north while efforts are made to find its cause and stop it. There's a crazed scientist playing God and a conniving President with his own environmental agenda, while the good guys try to solve the problem. Neither a classic disaster novel nor a good tale of political intrigue, this work is a near miss. For larger collections.-Robert Conroy, Warren, MI Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
