"The Ark Storm is coming--a catastrophic weather event that will unleash massive floods and wreak more damage on California than the feared 'Big One.' One man wants to profit from it. Another wants to harness it to wage jihad on American soil. One woman stands in their way: Dr. Gwen Boudain, a brave and brilliant meteorologist. When Boudain notices that her climate readings are off the charts, she turns to Gabriel Messenger for research funding. Messenger's company is working on a program that ionizes water molecules to bring rain on command. Meanwhile, Wall Street suits notice that someone is placing six-month bets on the prospect of an utter apocalypse and begin to investigate. Standing in the shadows is journalist Dan Jacobsen, a former Navy SEAL. War hardened, cynical, and handsome, Jacobsen is a man with his own hidden agenda. Linda Davies's Ark Storm brings together the worlds of finance, scientific innovation, and terrorism in a fast-paced thrill ride that will leave readers gasping"--

Add a CommentI heard the author, Ms. Davies, in an interview and was thoroughly grossed out! She stated that feminism must be promoted and advanced among the Muslim countries of the Middle East, but then when asked about Saudi Arabia, appeared to be an apologist for them [those constant beheadings of theirs, its a religious/cultural thing]. No, Ms. Davies, your brand of feminism - - that corporate females now enjoy the right to hire assassins to murder labor organizers, just as corporate males have - - isn't what feminism is, or should be, about! Ms. Davies is a female, and a former investment banker, and a self-described capitalist, but also strikes me as somewhat psychotic.
