“Reap the Wind is a bold, bracing and blisteringly original take on the legal thriller form. Joel Burcat has fashioned a seminal tale focusing on the nightmare of all road trips in which a storm raging outside the car is matched only by the storm raging within. Burcat dares to tread on the hallowed ground of John Grisham and Scott Turow and ends up blazing a fresh, daring literary tale of his own. Not to be missed!”
—Jon Land, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
“I highly recommend this lightning-paced, modern-day Odyssey. Burcat combines the best parts of a buddy story, a relationship drama, and a twisty, psychological legal thriller, while offering an unflinching look at the lives of young lawyers, all set against the terrifying backdrop of a climate-driven future that may be even closer than we fear.”

Burcat provides us with a compelling fictional account of what climate dangers may lurk in our future if we fail to act on climate. Reap the Wind is a gripping tale that engages both the head and the heart.”
