Carter Thompson, an unassuming yet clearly disturbed billionaire with revenge on his mind, murder in his heart, and absolutely nothing on his conscience, chooses weather manipulation as his weapon of revenge when carrying out a political vendetta.  He creates Hurricane Simone, which at a Category 7 is the biggest storm in recorded history. Thompson steers her toward New York City, and when she hits skyscrapers will fall, subways and tunnels will flood, and most of the city will disappear under thirty feet of water.

It’s up to meteorologist Kate Sherman and CIA weatherman Jake Baxter to try to stop Simone using a secret U.S. Navy weapon.

The only catch is that it must be deployed inside the hurricane.

"Evans and Jameson follow their bestselling debut, Category 7, about an evil scientist and his man-made hurricanes, with an eco-thriller with an even more imaginative premise...  Readers will race right along with Dr. Sam Briscoe, a methane specialist, and the novel's other good guys as they feverishly strive to save the world."

"The science makes sense, the gore factor is off the chart, and the villains are high-end despicable, so count on this one for a no-calorie summer snack-perfect for lazing on the beach or passing time in the airport."

Eager to exploit a potentially lucrative energy source, billionaire Dennis Cavendish has begun to tap the crystalline methane under the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.  Eco-terrorism kills his science team and releases gigatons of poisonous methane into the water and atmosphere, causing untold deaths.  If the release isn't stopped, all life on Earth will soon disappear. 

Suspected of the sabotage and marooned far from home, Cavendish's beautiful and brainy security chief, Victoria Clark, along with methane expert Dr. Sam Briscoe and the US government, must find a way to seal the break in the ocean floor and nullify the methane that is already poisoning the planet.

Flint AgroChemical's newest installation, TESLA, is in the driest, coldest, darkest, most remote spot in the world: the high central plain of Antarctica. The scientists there have cracked the code to controlling the world's weather. Upon being told he's being replaced, the installation's sociopathic lead researcher, Greg Simpson, hijacks this game-changing corporate weapon and turns it against the agro-industrial giant, and the world at large.
