Description: "The Sydney Hobart is the worlds most famous yacht race. But in the wrong weather, it can also be the most deadly. No one will ever forget the carnage of 1998. This year, Kirsten McKenzie must win. The bank shes inherited is in trouble, and desperately needs the PR boost of a race victory. Everyone thinks shell do it - shes got the fastest boat and the best record. Everyone, that is, except a boy called Moses who claims to be able to see the future. He doesnt foresee victory. He sees a storm, mountains of water. He sees disaster. Petra Woods is Director of the Sydney New Coastguard. She doesnt want to believe Moses warning, but as the race draws closer and his other predictions start coming true, she might not have a choice. The Storm Prophet is a truly gripping thriller about a vision, a race and the merciless power of the sea. It reveals Hector Macdonald as a master of suspense."--Provided by publisher.
