Surge

A Category 5 hurricane is bearing down on Galveston Island. Unknown to the sixty thousand residents desperately trying to flee the wrath of Mother Nature, there is an even greater threat to their safety than the storm. An angry man is secretly planning revenge that could set in motion a chain reaction along the entire Gulf Coast, rivaling the destruction of Hiroshima.

Written before Katrina and Rita, author Rod Tanner evokes through harrowing events and compelling characters the human story of a natural disaster.

FACTS:

The storm surge is responsible for ninety percent of the deaths that occur during a hurricane.

The Houston-Galveston area has a population of over six million people. Over a million of those live in a high-risk area of major flooding.

The Houston-Galveston area has more than three hundred chemical, petro-chemical plants and refineries clumped together in a fifty-mile area. These facilities use and produce some of the most toxic and deadly gasses on the planet.

SURGE is the best thrill-ride to come out of the ocean since JAWS.
