The D-day landings the fate of 2.5 million men, 3000 landing craft and the entire future of Europe depends on the right weather conditions on the English Channel on a single day. But is it even possible to predict the weather so far ahead? A team of Allied scientists is charged with agreeing on an accurate forecast five days in advance.
Wallace Ryman has devised a system that comprehends all of this but he is a reclusive pacifist who stubbornly refuses to divulge his secrets. And what is the relationship between predictability and turbulence, one of the last great mysteries of modern physics? Mark Latchford, a young maths prodigy from the Met Office, is sent to Scotland to discover Ryman s system and apply it to the Normandy landings.
But turbulence proves more elusive than anyone could have imagined and events, like the weather, begin to spiral out of control.
