Storm Runners Books in Order

The Storm Runners trilogy drops you into the path of extreme weather and doesn’t let up. Chase Masters travels with his dad, John, a contractor who specializes in rushing toward disaster zones to help rebuild. Chase has learned how to pack a go bag, read a radar image, and stay calm when everyone else is panicking.

In Storm Runners, a massive hurricane targets Florida just as Chase is temporarily staying at a farm that doubles as winter quarters for the Rossi Brothers Circus. A school bus crash, rising water, and battering winds leave him stranded with two classmates, Nicole and Rashawn. Much of the tension comes from short, sharp scenes of the kids trying to pick a safe path when every option looks bad.

The Surge picks up minutes after the first book ends. The hurricane has moved on, but the flood is getting worse. The circus’s lions are loose, a leopard is stalking the property, and power failures keep raising the stakes. The story cuts between the teens’ fight to reach higher ground and John’s struggle to reach them with the help of a television crew.

In Eruption, the focus shifts south of the border. The Rossi family and Chase’s group head to Mexico to check on missing relatives after a huge earthquake. A nearby volcano rumbles to life, sending ash, tremors, and the threat of a major blast over an already shattered landscape. The dangers are real-world—blocked roads, unstable buildings, frightened animals—but heightened by the clock constantly ticking in the background.

Because the books are short and tightly linked, the trilogy reads almost like one long, breathless novel. Chase is a practical, observant narrator who notices both the spectacular scenes—downed power lines, lightning-slashed skies—and the small choices that keep people alive. The circus backdrop adds unexpected color without undercutting the grounded feel of the disasters.

If you want a quick, high-energy series where characters survive by paying attention and using what they know, start with Storm Runners and continue straight through The Surge and Eruption.
