Randy Wayne White In the Eye of the Storm, charter Captain Jack Foster tries to live a simple life and leave his past as a cold case investigator behind him, but when he finds the body of his friend Capt. Tom in the mangroves it's not that easy. When Capt. Tom's killers learn of Jack's interest in the investigation they decide to take care of him and his daughter, Katelyn, before they are discovered. While defending against attack, trying to figure out clues, and protecting his daughter, massive Hurricane Lynn churns in the Gulf of Mexico and is bearing down on them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, August 23, 2007

By	Ellen Orr - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I took Eye of the Storm on vacation with me along with 15 other books; I chose to read Eye of the Storm first as it caught my "eye" with its great cover, and I was not disappointed. Once I started reading this tale of mystery and suspense--murder and mahem--set in southwestern Florida along the Gulf Coast, I did not put it down until I read the last words. This first novel by James Forrest is definitely a winner, and I look forward to a sequel--there must be one?? And until then, I plan to read the novel again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye of the Storm , August 20, 2007

By	Cleve H. Cox (SC, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I picked up Eye of the Storm, I had other things planned for the day. Suffice it to say those other things did not get done, as this is a page turner! Characters are identified and developed to the point that you feel like you know them...some of whom you like, some of whom you quickly and easily dislike, one of which I found myself hoping would not survive the potentially fatal situation in which he found himself, but Forrest throws you another curve in this fast paced, action filled story as the conflict situation comes to a head. Hard to believe this is his first book. I look forward to many, many more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye of the Storm, August 20, 2007

By	Kenneth A. Whitley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An action packed thriller from beginning until the end. Very believable characters and a plot intertwined with the outdoor life of Florida as well as the perils of living in Florida.

I hope there's a sequel.
