Wyatt’s Hurricane, by Desmond Bagley

by Euroman on March 28, 2010

This is another excellently written, fast paced thriller by the deceased English grandWyatt's Hurricane, by Desmond Bagley master of thriller writing, Desmond Bagley. This time it is about a ferocious hurricane and a scientist who has a sixth sense about such things.

Hurricane Mabel lays hundreds of miles off the coast of San Fernandez (Haiti). All the weather forecasting computer models predict she will pass harmlessly by. However, Dr David Wyatt, a civilian weather expert, does not believe so. His sixth sense tells him that she will change course and hit the already poverty-stricken country head on. He knows that thousands of lives are at stake. But his attempts to prevent the disaster fail. The US Navy is not convinced, and neither is San Fernandez’s brutal dictator Serrurier. His concern is much more with crushing the rebels challenging his rule.

This is truly a great book – with wonderful dialogue, descriptions of the hurricane so vivid that you feel you experience it, and very interesting characters. The plot is elegant and nicely laid out, and the pace of the book is very brisk. A true page turner!
