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.
But he’s no criminal mastermind, and they soon find themselves caught between a growing hurricane and a surprise algae field.
Will Moro succeed? Will they beat the hurricane surfing world record? And how exactly does one farm salt?
A Note From the Publisher2>
Todd Medema is the author of How To Surf A Hurricane, a heist thriller showing that stories about climate change and adaptation can be fun and hopeful. He wrote it because he believes the future doesn't have to be a dystopia, and he got tired of only reading stories of doom and gloom.
Todd studied Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Design at Carnegie Mellon University. He worked on self-driving cars and board games before discovering a passion for clean energy. He spent four years working on grid-scale battery storage and now offers Product Management consulting to clean energy companies.
Todd spends his free time playing games, climbing rocks, and gleefully riding his electric bike everywhere. He is currently working on expanding the Hurricane universe.
