"exhilarating weather warden thriller"
The hurricane heading towards Southern Florida may make
Katrina look like a sun shower; Chief Weather Warden Lewis
Orwell knows what that storm did to New Orleans and the
rest of the delta so he fears something even worse for
Miami. He hijacks the cruise ship Grand Paradise and
assigns his weather wardens and their djinn to sail the
vessel into the open water with his goal being that the
storm will chase after his unit rather than the populace
on the Floridian Peninsular. Newlyweds Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin and Djinn David
are on board the Grand Paradise, but obviously this is a
working honeymoon. However, this super sized storm is
actually the work of magic by insane former weather warden
Bad Bob; his formidable power is enhanced exponentially by
his amoral lunacy. The honeymooners and their comrades in
weather battle the hurricane of any century while Joanne
and David also struggle with the poisoning of the demon
mark that infects her. CAPE STORM is an exhilarating weather warden thriller.
The story line is fast-paced and filled with plenty of
magical action as the lead couple is victims trying to
stay one step ahead of the perfect storm, while also
trying to contain the poison devastating Joanne. Rachel
Caine provides another terrific tale in one of the
stronger urban fantasies on the market today. Harriet Klausner
