Hurricane Fever

Hurricane Fever by Tobias Buckell

3.5 Stars

Prudence "Roo" Jones is an ex-Caribbean Intelligence officer and the guardian of Delroy, his orphaned nephew. Once a spy, always a spy... Roo gets a message from a dead friend and fellow operative and despite the arrival of a hurricane, he is determined to find out what is going on.

This thriller takes place in the not too distant future where the Caribbean islands have oil money and have a higher standard of living than today. Global warming has caused more extremes in the weather and the hurricanes are more frequent and more intense. Bad guys are still the same and Roo gets himself involved in avenging his friend's death while trying to stop an evil rich man from destroying the world - with the help of a beautiful woman, of course.

Fast paced and full of cool weapons, a powerful hurricane, and biological warfare, this book is a page turner in James Bond style.
