Eighty-six year old Duff Gillies didn't want to die without telling the story of what he'd witnessed during the great ice tsunami that devastated Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia back in 2026. That was the winter he'd agreed to take young Izzy Walker on as his student aboard the Ice Queen and the year polar bears invaded the Gulf of St. Lawrence for the first time. After an unsettling polar bear encounter out on the ice, Duff thought he'd seen everything. Then three ice-covered waves turned his quiet maritime existence upside down. Called on to help a good friend rescue his brother, he and Izzy witnessed first-hand the devastating toll the tsunami had taken. But Duff had an experience no one else did and it came to haunt him. This fictional first-person account of the greatest tsunami disaster ever to hit a North American shore is a story you won't want to miss. It's a short novel that will leave you astonished at the destructive power of a tsunami when it collides with sea ice cover.
