TV meteorologist Perry Stuart has never witnessed the catastrophic power of a giant Caribbean hurricane-his prefereed area of expertise lies in predicting drab periods of English drizzle with the obligatory heavy rain and sunshine to follow. That is, until a fellow forecaster offers him a hurricane-chasing ride in a small plane as a vacation diversion. The diversion turns tragic when the plane is downed-and Stuart barely escapes with his life. But he can't escape what he saw on the island-and if the people who have tracked him back to England have their way, Stuart's forecast will call for a 50 percent chance of showers, along with zero chance of survival...
