From the supplier: Ernest Hemingway's short story 'After the Storm' may have been inspired in part by the chapter titled 'The Grand Armada' in Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick.' Both episodes share a similar plot structure and confront their characters with a version of the realities of death, life and nature. Hemingway's version of this confrontation places human life in the dog-eat-dog world of nature as a whole, making people just another part of the food chain, while Melville more philosophically ponders the highly-valued human characteristics found in nature. Other sources for Hemingway's story are discussed.

One May evening in London, Adam Kindred, a young climatologist in town for a job interview, is feeling good about the future as he sits down for a meal at a little Italian bistro. He strikes up a conversation with a solitary diner at the next table, who leaves soon afterward. With horrifying speed, this chance encounter leads to a series of malign accidents, through which Adam loses everything—home, family, friends, job, reputation, passport, credit cards, cell phone—never to get them back.

The police are searching for him. There is a reward for his capture. A hired killer is stalking him. He is alone and anonymous in a huge, pitiless modern city. Adam has nowhere to go but down—underground. He decides to join that vast army of the disappeared and the missing who throng London’s lowest levels as he tries to figure out what to do with his life and struggles to understand the forces that have made it unravel so spectacularly. Adam's quest will take him all along the river Thames, from affluent Chelsea to the gritty East End, and on the way he will encounter all manner of London's denizens—aristocrats, prostitutes, evangelists, and policewomen—and version after new version of himself.

Ordinary Thunderstorms, William Boyd's electric follow-up to his award-winning Restless, is a profound and gripping novel about the fragility of social identity, the corruption at the heart of big business, and the secrets that lie hidden in the filthy underbelly of every city.

!1: Best Buy William Boyd is a great storyteller and wonderful novelist. I purchased this book after reading Stephen King's rave review. The story is poignant, and while somewhat far-fetched it remains a very solid read. Highly recommended. on Sale!
