Mick Pierce leads a peaceful existence posted as a CIA operative on the island of Taiwan. The last thing Washington policymakers suspect is a strike out of the blue.

But signs of looming political and natural disasters mount in a steady drumbeat, and Mick finds himself facing a perfect storm.

In a deadly super-typhoon, Mick is torn from his beautiful wife and separated from his erratic brother. He must fight his way across the island and contact the outside world.

Can he get word out in time to stop an international calamity in the making? Can he stir Washington to action? Is he truly safe...because all the while, the enemy is following his every move.

Immersed in the life of Taiwan for four years, Fritz Galt brings to life a vibrant people and a beautiful island under the constant threat of the elements and its precarious relationship with the mainland.
