I detest books that do not finish the story but want you to buy the next book in a series. I enjoyed the book until the end and it leaves you hanging. Because of my stubbornness, I will not continue with the rest of the series.

A Thrilling Blend of Cli-Fi and Post-Apocalyptic Chaos
4.25 out of 5 stars
In J.R. Tate’s latest novel, Fury, I was treated to an electrifying experience that seamlessly blends climate fiction (Cli-Fi) with post-apocalyptic intensity. As a long-time fan of the author’s work, I was thrilled to dive into another J.R. Tate creation, and once again, her storytelling prowess did not disappoint.
As an avid lover of Cli-Fi, I have often found it challenging to come across audiobooks that explore this genre effectively. However, Fury not only delves into the captivating world of climate fiction but also manages to make it come alive through vivid storytelling and gripping narration. The storms that were described were insane and honestly, with the way things have been going – it felt like it could be less fiction and more non-fiction.
Fury throws readers directly into the maelstrom of the Southern United States while it’s currently being ravaged by violent storms (a Hurricane in January if I remember correctly) along with tornados and massive wind storms), immediately evoking memories of the intense film “The Day After Tomorrow” and the heart-pounding tornado action of “Twister.” This fast-paced and thrilling introduction sets the stage for what unfolds as a tale of survival in a radically changed world.
Tate’s portrayal of the power and devastation of these storms is commendable, leaving readers with a visceral understanding of the forces at play. However, Fury becomes more than just a climate fiction story. It quickly evolves into a post-apocalyptic adventure, exploring the challenges and resilience of the characters in this unforgiving landscape.
One of the author’s notable strengths lies in her ability to craft believable and relatable characters. In Fury, the cast of survivors comes to life with their unique struggles and triumphs. Some characters are so well-defined that they practically leap off the page, leaving a lasting impression, even if not always in the most favorable way.
While Fury ventures beyond the traditional boundaries of Cli-Fi, Tate skillfully weaves together elements of two captivating genres, creating a narrative that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. The blend of environmental catastrophe and post-apocalyptic survival makes for an enthralling read that keeps readers engaged until the very end (and wanting more since it appears to be book one in a series).
I did want to call out that I enjoyed most of Brad Holbrook’s performance. There were a few moments where he was utilizing some voice modulation (cell phone, bad connections, etc) where it probably wasn’t needed – it did add to the drama a bit, but made it hard to hear and follow the story. Outside of that, I thought he did a great job.
Rage, the second book in this series appears to come out in December of 2023...

I enjoyed reading this book, which was generally fast paced. The only reason I did not give it more than three stars is because it does not have any sort of ending. I am just not in the mood for books that leave you hanging and try to force you to read the next one in the series. I think that a good series can have an adequate ending for each "stand alone" book and be sufficiently well written that you want to read the next book simply because you enjoyed the one you just finished (think Patrick O'Brian for example).

Good but leaves you hanging...
I decided to read this after a night of crazy Texas weather, having read the Damaged Climate series by this author and enjoying it. This book was good but it just stops with no conclusions to the plot at all. I wish I had waited to read this until after the next book was published. (I was also hoping that paranoid peppers wouldn't worm their way into the story...sigh.)

absolutely amazing!!!!
I couldn’t wait for this to be released and I was not disappointed! Ranks right up there with one of the best from JR Tate. And it should not go unnoticed, the clear respect and admiration there is for public safety workers and first responders in the books JR Tate writes. It is refreshing to see that mixed in.

Fury - Respect the Wind Series Book 1
This is not your typical disaster/end of the world/EMP story, which is like a breath of fresh air. A good storyline, numerous main characters, and I realized it wasn’t going to end with book one. I didn’t even pay attention that it was book one of a series. I am gladly going to buy book 2 right now so I can continue reading the story.

Very interesting story, and a different take on end of the world scenarios.
The destruction of tornadoes was described so well that I could picture it perfectly. Their way to end the storm wasnt too sci fi.
Unfortunately there was no true ending. Just an acknowledgement about which characters were safe. But no reunions between characters or even them being in their original states.

Mother Nature vs mankind
In the past, human sacrifices would have been offered to appease the gods. Now it seems Mother Nature wants to remind us she demands respect and is pulling out all the stops.

Great read
This book was intense and a learning experience. Could this really happen? If so I hope I'm not alive to see it. Who knows what in store. Great book.

Interesting but scary
If this is all true there is no hope for the world. Zero carbon emissions don't matter at all. We are doomed.
