Set against the backdrop of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Whirlwind is a sweeping, high-stakes epic in James Clavell’s renowned Asian Saga. The story follows a group of Western helicopter pilots and their families working for a British charter company whose lives are thrown into chaos as Iran descends into political upheaval and violent transformation.

Torn between loyalty, survival, and conscience, the characters must navigate betrayal, shifting alliances, and deadly danger as the revolution reshapes everything around them. From tense desert escapes to intimate personal struggles, Clavell weaves a richly detailed narrative that explores the clash of cultures, the cost of power, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Ambitious, intense, and deeply immersive, Whirlwind captures a pivotal moment in modern history with the drama and depth that have made Clavell a master of historical storytelling.
