Description

One man’s fight for the future ignites a hurricane of change.

Moro Petroff’s revolutionary battery project, vital for a sustainable future, is abruptly shut down by his uncle. Refusing to give up, Moro risks everything on a daring heist during a massive storm. From corporate sabotage to hurricane surfing and unexpected alliances, his desperate gamble could either save the world or destroy everything he knows.

Bad news: Moro’s battery project is cancelled.

Determined to get his prototypes back and aided by a professional hurricane surfer, an Alaskan oil worker, and a French salt farmer, Moro does what any reasonable engineer would do—he quits the family business and attempts a heist on the high seas.

One man’s fight for the future ignites a hurricane of change.

Moro Petroff’s revolutionary battery project, vital for a sustainable future, is abruptly shut down by his uncle. Refusing to give up...


A Note From the Publisher
