Jack Jensen was afraid of heights. He also isn't as athletic or as masterful as his younger brother. Much as he enjoys the family that had adopted him, Jack has always lived in the shadow of his younger brother Troy who could do everything better than him. Troy was the natural born son and highly athletic son of Cheryl and Bill Jenson, a powerful CEO of one of America's largest banks. But, now he is dead.
Yet for all the advantages that Troy had, why did he go for strange jobs, like serving on a fishing vessel in the Bering Strait? Then, when this brilliant and handsome son dies, where is the expected hue and cry from his Type A father?
Despite not being at all like his brother, Jack feels that there has to be something more and he is not going to rest until he finds out. Following up on the only clue he has, Jack tries to get in contact with the girlfriend of a man who also had been lost at sea off the Arctic Fire. Yet, when Jack tries to reach Karen, he gets a shocking response! What the hell is going on?
Meanwhile, the President of the United States gets it in his head that he doesn't need "Red Cell Seven", a secret agency that is so buried that few know about it. Is there a connection to Troy's disappearance? As Jack valiantly struggles to connect the dots to his brother's disappearance, Maddux, the head of Red Cell Seven, will do anything to keep his secret organization alive!

Troy Jensen could do it all: he conquered the Seven Summits, sailed solo around the world twice, and even fought a bull in a Mexican slum on a dare. So when word comes that a rogue wave has swept Troy off a crab fishing boat in the Bering Sea and into a watery grave, his brother, Jack, doesnβt buy it.
Against his better judgment, Jack decides to quit his job as a Wall Street trader and head to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to investigate. Minutes after revealing his plan in his fatherβs New York City office, Jack is nearly run down in the street. He doesnβt think much of it at the time, but as he digs deeper into Troyβs disappearance, Jack unearths information about RED-CELL-SEVEN (RCS), a super-secret American intelligence group that has operated for forty years in almost total secrecy and with complete impunityβand its leaders intend to keep it that way at any cost.
An adrenaline-pumping tale of one manβs descent into a hellish underworld populated by terrorists, assassins, and very bad βgood guys,β Arctic Fire explores the disturbing difference between doing what is good and doing what is right when it comes to protecting America from her greatest enemies.
