KESSLER'S QUEST: When Nature's Fury Meets Human IngenuityProfessor Elliot Kessler has a wild dream: to tame the most destructive force of nature using his revolutionary atmospheric ionization technology. Ridiculed by the scientific community and opposed by wealthy industrialist Walton Malone, Kessler assembles a brilliant team of misfits to build the impossible—an airship capable of killing a tornado.After a partial success that leaves his ship battered but his theory proven, Kessler faces a race against time as Malone steals his designs and rushes to demonstrate a fatally flawed copy. When tragedy strikes, Kessler must build a fleet of storm-fighting vessels before hurricane season brings catastrophe to America's vulnerable coasts.From the lightning-charged skies above Kansas to the eye of a monster hurricane threatening Louisiana, Kessler and his daring crew of pilots and engineers push the boundaries of science and courage.
