I received this book free from Library Thing to read and review. In this book, two brothers go on a search for their father, who left on a business trip and has not returned.  The search extends from Pittsburg to NYC to DC to Florida in the middle of a major hurricane. With thought bringing me to some of the Hardy Boys mysteries I read years ago, the boy encounter numerous obstacles in their search and ultimately a dramatic conclusion. However, though the plot is well thought out and organized, I stopped to wonder how two not quite adult boys could manage to do and accomplish some of the things these two boys did (like finding a pilot to fly his small plane into a hurricane area) or how they could come up with some of the ideas and ways they do things. They may have had some fantastic experiences and a great background, but the author spends little time on most of this and expects the reader to understand and accept that the boys do what they do and come up with what they do almost as a leap of faith. More character development probably would have helped explain things and made the story a bit more realistic. Nevertheless, this is a fairly good book and flows quite well from start to finish. I am looking forward to the next book by this author, since I fully expect it to be as well written and the plot to be as exciting as this one.
