Answer: Orioles

Derek and Carl Storm were both big Orioles fans. Derek was supposed to go to the game against the Yankees with his dad.

The Orioles were playing the Yankees for the game they were supposed to see.

Answer: Clara Strike

They had an on again, off again relationship over the years. During this case they were generally off, at least at the start of the investigation. The night they met up, they drank wine, played chess and ended up in bed together. Storm referred to her as the best love he had ever known, but he also held a grudge against her for not telling him when she faked her own death and hid out for several years.

Answer: William McRae

McRae was the world's biggest expert in his field, and the only person who could build the lasers that were needed to take down the airplanes. They kept him hidden on a large ship. He was well taken care of, but not allowed any contact with his wife.

Answer: Camels

The camels were named Anthony and Cleopatra, they were rented. Storm was against the idea of riding camels, but Strike insisted that they had to appear to be poor, and poor people in that region still rode camels. They were undercover as a recently married couple with the last name of Sullivan.

Answer: False

Storm had died at the end of a different book in the series, only for it to be revealed he had actually gone into hiding. Storm was alive and well at the end of "Wild Storm".

The book ended with Storm on a plane, just like it had started, only this time it wasn't struck by a laser and crashed.
