Seven survivors. Seven hours of breathable reserve. Eleven miles beneath moving Antarctic ice. Emergency-systems engineer Rhea Basu is inspecting Vela Station, a pressurised research habitat beneath the Antarctic ice, when a catastrophic calving event destroys its only surface shaft. Six others survive with her. Their remaining breathable reserve is already being measured in hours. There is one possible way out: an eighteen-kilometre maintenance conduit beneath the ice leading to a decommissioned drilling platform. Then the pressure doors ahead begin locking. From the surface. Someone knows they survived. And whoever is controlling the station intends to make sure they never return with what Vela discovered. With freezing water entering the conduit, structural movement accelerating and distrust spreading through the group, Rhea must turn every battery, tool, litre of air and weakness in the damaged infrastructure into a way forward. But reaching the surface may expose something larger than the disaster that trapped them-and escaping alive may require choosing who else gets to survive. NO SURFACE ABOVE is a claustrophobic Antarctic survival thriller driven by engineering danger, extreme environments, human conspiracy and relentless countdown tension. Book 1 of the Shelfbreak trilogy.
