Environmental activist Ben Maki has devised an ingenious
plan to acquire clean drinking water from the Antarctic
Peninsula. The Soldyne Corporation has invested millions of
dollars to implement his plan, but their motives are not as
pure as Ben's. Even though the world is in desperate need
of fresh drinking water, fears of global warming have some
environmentalists and the scientific community up in arms
about messing with the polar ice cap. There are just too
many things that could go wrong -- as Ben soon finds out.
When unusual things start happening at the Raney Station
research facility in the Antarctic, the scientists fear for
their lives. It seems a deadly enemy has surfaced and no
one is safe. With their main priority now being to escape
the facility, they can't believe Soldyne is going forward
with a plan to break off a giant iceberg for processing
into drinking water. Are they insane?! Maybe -- but they're
also greedy.
Debut author Karen Dionne has scored a big hit with
this timely and compelling thriller that's riveting from
the very first page. The storyline is as disturbing as it
is chilling when you think that something like this could
actually happen. Characters are compelling and plot
development is fast-paced. Be prepared to be fearful of the
outcome.
One man’s dream of providing clean
drinking water for millions, tapped from the polar ice,
sparks a conflict of humanity, science, big business, and
environmental extremism.
But no one can foresee
the true danger hidden deep within the ice— an enemy more
deadly than any could imagine, and an apocalyptic horror
mankind may not survive.
