Second Wind Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Second Wind


British meteorologist Perry Stuart is invited by a colleague to go on a hurricane-hunting flight in the Caribbean. It's a very risky occupation for amateurs, and sure enough his plane is forced down. He's shipwrecked on an island alone except for a herd of cows. While there, just before he's rescued, he stumbles onto a smuggling operation involving uranium isotopes. Believing terrorists are building nuclear weapons at some secret laboratory, Stuart tries to alert the proper authorities, before he is silenced forever.
