Product Description
"Karen Dionne is the new Michael Crichton." - NYTimes bestselling author David Morrell
"What a ripper of a story! I loved every page." - NYTimes bestselling author Douglas Preston
"A timely, terrifying thriller." - DAME Magazine
"An ecological thriller that reads like a disaster movie...Roland Emmerich, are you listening? Scoop this one up!" – Blog Critics Magazine
A solar energy company wants to melt Antarctic icebergs into drinking water, not realizing that the water is contaminated with an unknown, deadly disease.
As he faces the frozen behemoth of a giant iceberg, environmental activist Ben Maki sees Earth’s future. Clean drinking water for millions of people, waiting to be tapped from the polar ice. The Soldyne Corporation backs Ben’s grand philanthropic vision for a better today—while making its own plans for a very profitable tomorrow.
Rebecca Sweet is an eco-terrorist who will do whatever she must to protect the earth. And Ben Maki’s ideas have set her on the path to war…
All of them will be drawn into a battle between hope and helplessness, power and pride. But they are about to discover that deep within the ice waits an enemy more deadly than any mankind could imagine—and an apocalyptic horror mankind may not survive.

Lou B (USA: NV) (2011/09/07):
A story of entrepreneurial skill, technology, ideals, and betrayal. Good intro book. The characters are believable and have personalities that are consistent throughout the plot, and the science is interesting. However, rats that can keep up with a snow mobile? Rats that jump into freezing cold water, then swim faster than a zodiak, jump on it, and attack those onboard. Dumb, dumb, dumb. ah well...it's a 'story', eh?
