According to the front cover of the book this is the second in the Rain Men Series and Sequel to Operation Seeding. This is one of the conspiracy/thriller type novels that will chill you to the bone. All of us in the NY and NJ area remember the Perfect Storm which clobbered our area and spread devastation. It is still being dealt with by many, many people! Well what if a "company" had figured out a way to control the weather, rain and storms etc? And what if the governments of countries used this technology to their own advantage?
This book can stand on it's own without having read the first in the series, although I think I might want to read it as well as the third. I am sitting here praying that this type of technology NEVER is created or at least used as depicted in this novel--Nature does a good enough job thank you very much!
