Book excerpt: A math professor is seized by the FBI in “a tense thriller . . . a vivid portrait of the emotional ride an abductee might experience” (Hampshire Daily Gazette). The anniversary of 9/11 is approaching, and federal agents have a suspected terrorist in their sights: a math professor named Gandalf Cohen. As a major hurricane threatens the northeast, they abduct Cohen and fly her to a secret interrogation center off the coast of Maine. Austin Coombs, a local resident, is a newly hired civilian guard assigned to the detention center. Henry Ames, a man of personal secrets, is the FBI special agent in charge of Gandalf’s case and doubts the professor’s involvement; Tobias, his second-in-command, disagrees, preferring violent interrogation. As the hurricane slams the shore, conflict detonates—and each character must choose a side if they’re to survive the storm. Told by alternating voices, On Hurricane Island is both a fast-paced political thriller and a literary examination of the sociopolitical storm facing our society. How far should government go in the name of protecting our national security? What happens when governmental powers of surveillance and extra-legal interrogation are expanded? How free are we?

Book excerpt: On the night of September 21, 1989, Hurricane Hugo slammed into the South Carolina coast at Sullivan s Island north of Charleston with winds exceeding 160 miles per hour. The colossal force of the hurricane was punctuated by storm surges ranging from five to ten feet above sea level. At approximately one minute after midnight, Hugo s eye passed over the island, and the charming community oceanside community disappeared beneath the tumultuous sea for nearly an hour. After Hugo left Sullivan s Island in its furious wake, the first news broadcasts from the Charleston area reported that the island and neighboring Isle of Palms were completely destroyed. The Ben Sawyer Bridge the only connection to the island at the time was knocked off its pedestal and rendered useless, and so the hundreds of families who had evacuated the area could not return to their homes to see what, if anything, remained. The recovery process started slowly, and for many it would be a long, arduous journey. Island in the Storm, by local historians Jamie and Dorothy Moore, documents in vivid detail the devastation, loss and eventual rebuilding of this beloved island community. More than fifteen years later, Sullivan s Island s homes and businesses have been restored, but the memory of Hugo s fury will not soon be forgotten."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hurricane Island I had stood for some minutes, drinking in the better air, when there were voices near, suddenly risen out of the flood, and I perceived two men had landed. They paused by me for one to relight his pipe, and in the flash of the match I gathered from the dresses that they were stevedores, newly come, no doubt, from unloading some vessel. But my attention was taken off them unexpectedly by a great flare that went up into the sky apparently in mid-channel. It made a big bright flame, quite unusual in that resort of silent lights, and one of the stevedores commented on it.
