DESCRIPTION:
"The Storm from Hell" according to ct. A young mother is trapped in a tunnel. Her devious husband has taken the kids from the day care facility to who-knows-where. A hurricane rages trough the city. Piranhas lurk in the advancing flood. And what about those people Carm sees walking on water. Apparitions? Hallucinations? Glenn Robert's fabulist thriller keeps the reader in suspense until the last page. We see the strange new world through the eyes of Carmen Niles, the protagonist who s
Glenn Lazar Roberts is a linguist, writer, historian, and international law attorney.

Pretty biologist Carmen Niles leads the others through the maze, and falls into a deadly scheme to sabotage the Institute's experiments, involving a biker drug gang, psychics, stock fraud, and one-minute piranhas made by experimental computer 'genechips'.

The reader turns pages eagerly right up to the astounding resolution. This is an entertaining work of speculative fiction that provides a great deal of food for thought."-John Dizon, author of Tiara. We see this strange new world through the eyes of Carmen Niles, the protagonist who struggles as she tries to outfox the 'kind of hurricane that couldrip corpses from the graveyards and mingle with the newly drowned.' Carm's voice is authentic and engaging: we care about her very much, her fight for survival and her courage in tackling the evil forces about to do her in. "A plot worthy of the movies! Frenzy by Glenn Lazar Roberts is a perfect example of building tension. Fox, author of Theater Boy. A must-read."-Carolyn Thorman, author of Holy Orders. It is only as we move from one disaster to the other that we realize that these are not only victims of society, but of science gone too far. Using a witty and satiric style, Ro
