BR10: Wyatt's Hurricane

     Today I read "Wyatt's Hurricane", a book in the Oxford  University Press series. It was Written by Desmond Bagley, and retold by Jennifer Bassett.

     Hurricane Mabel is far out in the Atlantic Ocean and moving slowly northwards. Perhaps it will never come near land at all. But if it hits the island of San Fernandez, many thousands of people will die. There could be winds of more than 250 kilometres an hour. There could be a huge tidal wave from the sea, which will drown the capital city of St Pierre. Mabel will destroy houses, farms, roads, bridges... Only one man, David Wyatt, believes that Mabel will hit San Fernandez, but nobody will listen to him...

      It was very interesting. I want to see it at the movie theater. I thought it was good that this prophecy not be true. However, I thought that this person was disqualified as a prophet. In modern times, it is not possible to do just by a good person like a hero. If you are not saved by a great and somewhat powerful person, you can't save as many people as you can. It is surely a world that can not be predicted from the times when everyone was watching the sky, feeling the change of the air. Will not come to the natural disaster in the future? Is the end of the world coming before that?

     If you are interesred, please read it. Irecommend it.
