Summary
Perry Stuart is a TV meteorologist who routinely works before the cameras. His life calm and ordered, his face familiar to every British household, Stuart's profound weather knowledge and accuracy have given him high status among forecasters, but no physical baptism by storm. Not, that is, until a fellow forecaster offers him a Caribbean hurricane-chasing ride in a small aeroplane. By frightening accident, Stuart discovers secrets from the ride, and back in England he faces threats and danger as deadly as anything that nature can evolve.

Goes at a fast pace.
I couldn't put it down and housework etc . was done with it as accompaniment. Not a lot of the science was understandable to me, butit didn't detract from the story as the overall weather conditions were obvious. As always our hero was super human, but that all added to the fun. A great read and Tony Britton's voice is so right.

good but slightly inconceivable
it's a book of two winds. the first half not as good as the second. the microbiology a bit suspect, the meteorology interesting but not enough of it. it's a nice twist but you do need to suspend quite a lot of belief throughout.
too many female voices for Britton to cope with as well as he usually does. the nice suprise is that Bolinda offer an audio with few major recording errors being evident.

The very clear speech of the read and his pace of speaking
I thought that it was slow getting going for a while. It's a bit difficult to sort out all the names but enjoyable.
