Mother of Storms

<b>From the flaps of the Tor first edition:</b> "It is 2028. A strike to destroy an illegal Arctic weapons cache has a catastrophic side effect. Massive amounts of energy are liberated from the polar ice, suddenly warming the Earth's climate. <p>In the middle of the Pacific, a gigantic hurricane thousands of miles across is forming, larger than any in human history. A storm with winds of supersonic speed. A storm that changes direction at whim. A storm that refuses to die. A storm so vast it spawns dozens more in its wake... <p>Blinded by intrigue, expedience, and greed, the world's politicians and power brokers have ignored the killer storms threat until it is too late. Already the death toll is in the tens of millions, as it savages the Pacific coast, while its devil's brood of smaller storms are wreaking havoc across the face of the planet. <p>While the survivors scramble for advantage, a handful of courageous men and women undertake a daring, desperate plan to save humanity from total destruction - a plan so visionary it may alter forever the future of the human race."
