Thriller
The South Pole’s Amundsen Scott Research Station is like an
outpost on Mars. Winter temperatures average 100 degrees
below zero; week-long hurricane-force storms rage; for
eight months at a time the station is shrouded in darkness.
Under the stress, bodies suffer and minds twist. Panic,
paranoia, and hostility prevail. When a South Pole scientist dies mysteriously, CDC
microbiologist Hallie Leland arrives to complete crucial
research. Before she can begin, three more women
inexplicably die. As failing communications and plunging
temperatures cut the station off from the outside world,
terror rises and tensions soar. Amidst it all, Hallie must
crack the mystery of her predecessor’s death. In Washington, D.C., government agency director Don Barnard
and enigmatic operative Wil Bowman detect troubling signs
of shadowy behavior at the South Pole and realize that
Hallie is at the heart of it. Unless Barnard and Bowman can
track down the mastermind, a horrifying act of global
terror, launched from the station, will change the planet
forever—and Hallie herself will be the unwitting instrument
of destruction. As the Antarctic winter sweeps in, severing contact with
the outside world, Hallie must trust no one, fear everyone,
and fight to keep the frigid prison from becoming her
frozen grave.
