Bad news: Moro's project is cancelled.

Determined to get his prototypes back, he enlists the help of a professional hurricane surfer, an Alaskan oil worker, and a French salt farmer. 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?

It's a hopeful climate heist—a solarpunk blend of Ocean's Eleven, The Martian and Michael Crichton.

Review

The audiobook version of How to Surf a Hurricane feels like a fast-moving adventure you can easily get lost in. The narrator brings energy to the story, which helps keep the momentum going through all the action and big ideas.

We Moro, an engineer who refuses to give up on a clean-energy project and ends up planning a risky heist during a hurricane. What makes it stand out is how it mixes science, climate issues, and teamwork with a wild, almost unbelievable concept like hurricane surfing.

The characters are a bit unconventional, but that actually works in the book’s favor.

If you enjoy stories that combine adventure with real-world issues, this one is worth trying.
