With construction of Skywatch 2 now complete, some old friends back on the team, and Bendix back in control as Weatherman, everyone is considering what this new phase of the Stormwatch program will bring. Only one small question must be answered first: did Winter kill a member of the U.N. executive council?!

Fire from Heaven enters its 12th chapter! As the endgame nears, uneasy alliances are made on Gamorra, Bendix desperately fights to save Skywatch II, and disaster looms-but are Stormwatch fighting for the right side?

Answers various questions about Philadelphia's weather and climate, from the Poconos and Philadelphia to southern New Jersey and the Shore to Delaware. This book offers a history of the region's pivotal role in the development of weather science that goes back to colonial times and gives an account of what forecasters actually do on a daily basis.

Stormwatch, the United Nations Special Crisis Intervention Team, was formed to act as a powerful police force on a global scale. But Weatherman Henry Bendix, the controller of the superheroes, has decided that this course of action is no longer effective. Recruiting the electric Jenny Sparks, the lethal assassin Rose Tattoo, and the city-symbiote Jack Hawksmoor, the Weatherman transforms the once-reactive troupe into a proactive, take-no-prisoners strike team, making the reader question the way that superhero teams are perceived.
