Iran in 1979. A narrow circle of oil tycoons and crowds of poor, desperate people. One spark is enough to ignite riots and drown in blood those who yesterday bathed in luxury.... As a result of the coup, the pro-Western regime of Shah Pahlavi is overthrown, and the "war of all against all" begins, which is not without the intervention of the secret services of the great powers interested in Iranian oil. The Noble House, a huge holding company whose business is connected with oil production, does not lose its vigilance. In order to take people and assets out of the country, plunged into the chaos of the revolution, a helicopter company secretly owned by the holding is preparing for an unheard of daring operation. Slow down can not - too dangerous to take off from the "powder keg", provided that all helicopters must fly from their bases at the same time... The novel "Hurricane" (1986) completes the "Asian saga" Clavell. There are those who reproach the author for some confusion and mixing of genres in this book, but it is hard to deny his foresight: describing the turbulent events in Iran in the late seventies, he seemed to see several decades ahead.
