Category Five

Category Five by Philip S. Donlay

Dr. Lauren McKenna, a meteorological scientist with the Defense Intelligence Agency, is responsible for the deployment and tracking of a Doppler Imager that detects global weather patterns that could affect military operations. The story begins in Bermuda where Lauren and her team are trying to evacuate the Island before a potential "Super Hurricane" hits.

Lauren is in constant peril and must be saved by the story's hero, Donavan Nash with whom Lauren has a somewhat torrid past. Donavan Nash is a pilot who owns EcoWatch, a privately funded Rescue and Recover operation. Mr. Nash has several secrets of his own and they are quickly revealed as the story unwinds.

Good book, with  a "good action" plot, character interactions and relationships, and lots of techno-gadgets. The downside was the overblown world-ending danger (everything was the worst, the biggest, the scariest) with highly unlikely solutions. But because our main characters only do things perfectly, expertly, and smarter and better than anyone else, everything works out in the end. Combine all off this and it just puts this book a little over the top.
