Tornado researcher Victoria meets a man who might change not only her life, but her entire conception of reality.
It all begins with footprints...
Victoria discovers an impossible set of footprints in a muddy field near Memphis--they indicate that a man walked away unharmed after being engulfed by the full fury of a twister. A year later, Victoria finds an identical set of mysterious tracks in Kansas and becomes obsessed with finding this odd wanderer.
When she finally does find Ben Fulgar, Victoria can't believe her own eyes or his improbable story--he claims to have wandered the earth for centuries, from tornado to tornado. She'll risk her life to prove to herself that the world operates according to rational rules. During their adventures on the prairie, their relationship intensifies into a love that will be challenged by the ultimate forces of nature.

The love story is very strange and different so much so that I had a little bit of a hard time wrapping my head around it. The tornado parts were well written even for some strange acting ones. If you are looking for something a little "different" to read...this is it.

Wow! What a neat story! "Tornado Siren" is a very entertaining blend of relationships, weather, adventure, geography and romance. Nicely done! The author is a playwright with considerable experience in storytelling. He has a unique ability to weave a story on a basic framework and then let the characters evolve in the readers imagination. He really has a way with words and ideas. You just can't put this book down. Great read!
