Fast Ice
Book 18 of the NUMA Files series
A former NUMA colleague disappears in Antarctica while researching icebergs, drawing Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala to the frozen continent. Evidence from a 1939 Luftwaffe expedition reveals a conspiracy that began with Germany's attempt to establish a wartime foothold there. The present threat is a manufactured form of fast-growing ice capable of spreading across oceans and forcing the world into a new ice age. Frigid and action-heavy, this NUMA thriller suits readers who enjoy polar survival, Nazi-era secrets, dangerous climate technology, monstrous storms, and rescue missions that expand from finding one missing scientist to preventing the planet from freezing.
