Arctic Drift
Book 20 of the Dirk Pitt series
A clean-energy breakthrough, unexplained deaths in British Columbia, and worsening conflict between the United States and Canada appear to share an Arctic source. Dirk Pitt and his children trace the crisis toward the lost Franklin expedition and a mineral that could change the world's response to climate change. Sabotage and political manipulation turn the search for historical wreckage into a race against international violence. Cold and fast-moving, this thriller suits readers who enjoy polar exploration, maritime history, environmental stakes, and family teams pursuing modern conspiracies through the remains of famous expeditions.
