(click to see a large version of the cover image)

Politics, terrorism, and heavy weather collide over Honolulu in a vividly imagined near-future thriller from the author of The Last Good Man.

Ava Arnett is a Honolulu cop, captain of the night shift in the autonomous Waikiki District. Nine years ago a massive hurricane hit the island. Ava remains haunted by the mistakes she made and the lives she failed to save during that disaster. Since then, she relies on HADAFA, an AI designed to observe, analyze, and predict human behavior. HADAFA monitors her actions, and its assessments guide her decisions.

Now, another Category 5 hurricane is approaching Honolulu…

In the hectic hours before landfall, Ava stumbles into a terrorist conspiracy – and HADAFA begins to glitch. She can no longer rely on the AI. She must decide on her own whether or not to trust a mysterious federal agent named Lyric Jones — knowing the wrong choice could lead to greater devastation…and a war no one will win.


Pacific Storm is now available to preorder as an ebook. (The print edition will take a little longer.)

Pacific Storm will publish on October 8th.

    OK then. I’m up for a good techno-thriller.
    Preordered the ebook.

  2. Linda Says:

    Thanks so much, Clyde. I really appreciate it.

  3. Jeff Frane Says:

    I was puzzled by your recent announcement of a publication date coming so soon but I’m super old and worked in print so long my mind only runs in one direction. I can wait for the paper.

  4. Linda Says:

    Hopefully you won’t have to wait for long. Proof copies of the print edition are on the way.

    That said, print-on-demand turn-around times have been lagging this year due to paper shortages. Not sure if that’s still a problem, but it could be. Anyway, thank you!!
