A gripping Antarctica thriller of climate danger, lost technology, and high-stakes geopolitical intrigue.
In 2050, a world without rare earth minerals runs like it's 1985.
And Thwaites-the infamous Doomsday Glacier-has collapsed.
Submerged coastlines and yesterday's technologies are the new normal. But deep within Antarctica's mountains, revolutionary magnetic crystals hold the key to resurrecting the modern era. There's just one problem: with Thwaites gone, mining them could trigger a catastrophic chain reaction, shattering Antarctica's ice and reshaping Earth's future forever.
Dr. Carlos Perez doesn't care. Prestige and profit are all that matter. After collecting crystal samples at a Chilean research station, he murders three colleagues under orders from his Chinese buyer-then hides the samples until he can negotiate a better deal. To avoid detection, he returns to the facility aboard a pleasure cruise.
Also aboard is Diana Harris, a recently widowed sustainability advocate with a background in geology, traveling with her spirited best friend, Angie. Diana hopes for healing-but after she stumbles upon a mysterious red crystal and a trail of hidden agendas, she's pulled into a deadly conspiracy. The CIA is watching. China is listening. And Carlos is ready to kill again.
When Diana and the other campers are stranded in the icy wilderness, the countdown begins. A rare Antarctic cyclone is closing in. The truth is cracking through the ice. And Diana must summon her strength to stop a man-made disaster that could redefine civilization.
The truth lies beneath the fracturing ice.
And if it surfaces-nations will kill to control it.
Polar Deception blends climate-driven suspense, survival adventure, and science-based geopolitical tension into a fast-paced thriller perfect for fans of eco-fiction, Antarctica
