about the book

Bad news: Moro's project is cancelled.

Determined to get his prototypes back, he enlists the help of a professional hurricane surfer, an Alaskan oil worker, and a French salt farmer. But he's no criminal mastermind, and they soon find themselves caught between a growing hurricane and a surprise algae field.

Will Moro succeed? Will they beat the hurricane surfing world record? And how exactly does one farm salt?

It's a hopeful climate heist—a solarpunk blend of Ocean's Eleven, The Martian and Michael Crichton.
