The scenario: several good guys (varying shades of "good") and several bad guys (varying shades of "bad") find themselves alone on a populated but evacuated island as a category 5 hurricane bears down on them. The bad guys are determined to crack a safe and kill all the good guys and the good guys are determined to survive both the elements and the bad guys, even if it means offing the occasional bad guy.The good guys include Sharon, a waitress who normally works on the island and her 14 year old daughter, Glory. The bad guys make the mistake of kidnapping Glory. Ever see what happens when a mom needs to protect her child? Oh, and the island's handyman, Max, can wield more than a screwdriver. He also has a pretty interesting set of rules of conduct which the bad guys keep violating ....This is a fast paced thriller (far less gory than some reviewers have alleged) combining killers and a killer hurricane and shuffling and building characters at the same time.
