The largest hurricane on record blasted the island. With the entire infrastructure knocked out, a ruthless and organized gang rose to terrorize Kingston. Hurricane Gilbert destroyed most the houses and crops, and threatened every person, plant, tree and object on the island. Hundreds of Jamaicans found themselves homeless and without basic needs. Electricity and basic services were wiped out across the island. Gilbert is book one of the Jamaica Series. The story is told from the POV of several Jamaicans in Kingston and at the airport in Baltimore. Out of the scraps, a diverse group of Jamaicans fought to save their neighborhood or defend their city. They face considerable odds that are stacked against them. With many Jamaicans beaten down and ready to give up, a special young lady stepped up determined to save her neighborhood. When the other constables went AWOL, two brave constables risked their lives to defend their city. They provide the only obstacles for a gang that looted, kidnapped, raped, and murdered enthusiastically and without mercy. Thousands of other Jamaicans found themselves trapped overseas. The story focuses on one group in Baltimore who desperately want to get home to check on their loved ones. One white American finds his immediate destiny linked to the Jamaicans at the airport. Gilbert follows a most-challenging period in Jamaica. The characters in the story represent the diversity of Jamaican characters. Full of drama, suspense, this thriller moves along at a fast pace. The characters represent a much broader range of Jamaican characters than the stereotypical version too often used in such stories. â�,�¢ Thriller â�,�¢ Jamaica â�,�¢ Hurricane Gilbert â�,�¢ Gangs â�,�¢ Drug Cartels â�,�¢ Adventure â�,�¢ Family
