Alone on an Island by William J Watson

Whaler's Island is located off the coast of Cape Cod and to the east of the island of Nantucket. Whaler's Island is a vacationer's paradise and the summer home to many famous people. When a category three hurricane threatens the island, the locals take steps to prepare for the massive storm. While preparations are underway, a fire breaks out in a popular restaurant in the downtown section of this historic whaling island. Will the fire chief, Charlie Williams, be able to rally his troops to save the town, or will the devastating headwinds of the hurricane be too much for this small fire department to overcome? Will the town burn to the ground before the rain from the hurricane arrives? Will the storm-surge of the hurricane nullify the fire department's efforts? Will all of Williams's firefighters make it out alive? Will the island be able to recover economically from such a devastating ordeal, or will it need to be abandoned and left as a memory of the past? The clock is running and there's not much time to act.
