A group of scientists in the Antarctic face a desperate battle for
survival against a deadly, mysterious enemy in this “engrossing
thriller” (Publishers Weekly). Having spent the summer conducting
fieldwork on Livingston Island off the coast of Antarctica, marine
biologist Andrew Berrister is looking forward to getting back to
civilization. But his final days in the forbidding climate take an
unexpected turn when Berrister and his colleagues discover that they
are not alone on the island . . . Suspecting that the intruders
are a crew of illegal whalers, the scientists know they have to get
out fast. But departure becomes nearly impossible when their supplies
are sabotaged and two members of their shore party disappear. As
Berrister and his remaining companions flee across the treacherous,
icy terrain, they are relentlessly pursued by ruthless killers whose
true reasons for being in Antarctica are darker and more dangerous
than the any of them could have imagined . . . “A breathtaking
tale of intrigue and fortitude reminiscent of the vintage adventure
tales of Alistair MacLean.” —Kirkus Reviews “Beaufort
carefully crafts the personality of each team member, while the
action-packed plot builds to a shocking crescendo.” —Publishers
