Isaac's Storm
I just finished Isaac's Storm, another fantastic non-fiction narrative by Erik Larson of Devil in the White City and Thunderstruck.
Having just been in Galveston (albeit briefly) the story was very vivid - Dawnise and I walked along the seawall (built after the hurricane of 1900) looking out into the Gulf of Mexico. It's not hard to imagine the sea reclaiming that tiny spit of land - and taking thousands of lives in the process.
The book was "typical" Larson - well researched and compellingly and vividly told. If you've read his other works, add this to your "to-read" queue. If you haven't read the other works mentioned above - add them all.
