No one thought much about the storm. Not the National Weather Service and not the big‑name meteorologists. Local weatherman Wally Wellman thought there might be trouble, but even he couldn't predict the natural disaster that was about to lay siege to the quiet suburb of Sheridan, Michigan.
Now, with resources stretched to their breaking point, Sheridan police officer Mike Stuart must try to keep the town safe. But there something is lurking in Sheridan. Something as cold as the snow and ice, and just as deadly. A pair of escaped convicts, on the run south, have been stranded in town. But they don't plan on laying low. And as the death toll rises, Officer Stuart must face down enemies far more dangerous—and unpredictable—than any storm.

A good disaster 'movie'.

Fast Paced enjoyable novelStorm Front is a week written fast paced story. The plot is fairly straightforward, a town is hit by a large unexpected snowstorm and the residents have to cope. There are some plot twists and turns. Some of the buildings may not be safe due to fraudulent construction. The snow comes down so fast that cars are stranded in the streets. This prevents the snow plows from coming out. In addition there are two dangerous killers on loose and stranded in the town.
The book reminds me of a classic 70s movie. The natural disaster, the political corruption, and the criminals on the loose. I can see someone like a Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood starring in it. Perfect rainy Saturday afternoon movie.Posted on

Product ReviewSame reaction as above. It was a decent story, but given that it was a Baen book, I kept expecting a scifi/fantasy twist - and never got one. I didn't regret getting it as part of the December pack and reading it, but probably won't read it again.

Product ReviewThe story was a well crafted, quick read. My youth was spent in NW Ohio and remember the national guard being dispatch to dig our town out on two occasions. The story did a great job of capturing the feelings and experience of that kind of weather.
The question I have is, why did Baen publish it? I may be missing something, but this story does not fit into the category of science fiction. I had the same question about "It's Up to Charlie Hardin.Posted on
