Yo Will, what's the weather?

It's a phrase Will Baggett's used to hearing everywhere he goes. After all, he's the most popular weatherman in Raleigh, North Carolina.

In fact, he's the happiest man in the world. Great job. Happy marriage. Healthy as can be. His son's working hard to become a doctor. Yes indeed, life is wonderful for Will Baggett.

But all that's about to change.

Channel Seven's been bought and Baggett's fired after 25 years on the job as a result. His wife's real estate career is taking off and she's ready to put a for sale sign on their marriage. To top it all off, his son is completely disconnected from him.

Just when Will thinks things can't get worse, he gets pulled over by the police, is injured at his now-former TV station and has to be lugged through a crowd of gawkers, camera crews and police officers on a stretcher.

And that's going to be his best day for a while.

The life Will's worked so hard for has practically been torn down. Then cousin Wingfoot arrives and takes him back to his past so he can build a new future.

Will's journey begins with his childhood. Memories he's suppressed since he was a teenager come flooding back.

Ironically, what he's tried to outgrow his whole life is exactly who he decides he wants to be. Himself.

Bookworm's Briefing
Robert Inman's created a fine cast of characters. Each one grows so much from beginning to end, you'll feel like you know them. Especially the main character. There's a little bit of Will Baggett in all of us.

Captain Saturday is nothing short of a fantastic novel, one that's worth read after read after read. Inman has topped himself!
