About this audiobook
The thrilling new novel in the New York Times bestselling Kurt Austin Adventures…
In the middle of the Indian Ocean, a NUMA research vessel is taking water samples when a crew member spots a patch of black oil ahead of them. But the substance is not oil.
Like a horde of army ants, a swarm of black particles from the spoiled sea suddenly attacks, killing everyone aboard while the ship goes up in flames.
A few hours later, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are on their way to the Indian Ocean. What they find on the smoldering hulk of the ship will eventually lead them to discover the most audacious scheme they have ever encountered: a plan to permanently alter the weather on a global scale. The insidious plot will kill millions…and it has already begun.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I had a hard time stop listening to do my duties at work. Enjoyed listening to the narrator and felt like I was there!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the earliest pieces of journalism to survive and a blueprint for any aspiring reporter.To really appreciate this book, one needs to try to relocate oneself into an early eighteenth century mindset. The Sun (newspaper) was not even a shudder upon the horizon, journalism was only slowly emerging from its pamphlet stage and the in depth coverage of a topic was a new concept. Add to this that the UK had just been hit by a storm, the ferocity of which, had never been experienced within recorded memory, and for which nothing had truly prepared the people. From this perspective, Defoe's book is an awe inspiring work. He not only records the events from many perspectives, not simply its effect upon the ruling classes, as we might expect now, but also from the man in the street (sometimes literally, if his house had been torn up). Defoe also encouraged people from around the country to send him their account of the storm and, rather than regurgitating these tales as his own, he includes them, verbatim, allowing the reader to decide upon the veracity thereof (Would that twenty-first century reportage were so honest!).
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In 1703, Britain was hit by the worst recorded storm in history. It also caused widespread damage to France and Holland. The southern part of Britain suffered most with much damaged to building - Defoe claiming that the problem with churches was their steeples, many toppling in the storm. Thousands of trees were uprooted or snapped off and may orchards and farms destroyed. the loss of life was greatest among sailors, with thousands being drowned and many hundreds of ships and smaller vessels lost. or destroyed.Daniel Defoe placed an advertisement seeking personal experiences of the storm and this book is mainly a collection of those replies. Several letters confirmed the storm was accompanied by an earthquake.
