THE WEATHERMAKER by GLENN SCHWARTZ
Neil Stephenson can control the weather—but should he?
During a snowstorm that isn’t producing as much snow as predicted, Neil discovers his gift. The latest science shows that extreme weather has increased in frequency and severity due to climate change. Being able to prevent some of those disasters sounds great, but… weakening one hurricane in the Atlantic could strengthen a typhoon in the Pacific. Neil is torn as greater powers attempt to control him and his gift.
The Weathermaker is a “cli-fi” genre-bending thriller, with the action aspects of Twister. It shows the tragic aspects of climate change (like The Day After Tomorrow) and “the cure is worse than the disease” (Snowpiercer). There is also evidence that controlling nature can lead to disaster (Jurassic Park). The added bonus is that the author is a meteorologist, and the science is accurate. Plus, 40 years on TV has given him lots of “inside TV news” stories.
Glenn 'Hurricane' Schwartz's recent appearance at our Meet the Author event at the Pyramid Club was nothing short of captivating. Not only did Glenn engage the audience from start to finish, but his warmth and approachability shone through during the book signing session, where guests lined up eager
