Description
"Clark's fast-paced futuristic thriller touches on environmental responsibility, grief, and interconnectedness. The novel itself, however, is far from a downer... Unexpected twists and a satisfyingly dramatic ending make for a fun read that raises some very pertinent questions about humanity." -- Kirkus
"... an entertaining story with a fascinating plot and a fantastic protagonist... The premise is both imaginative and very similar to our current environmental concerns... [T]he author made sure readers were invested in the story from the get-go. The descriptions are chilling, and the pace of the story just makes everything seem real. I loved Polar Deception!" -- Readers' Favorite, 5 Stars
"A near-future thriller that crackles with contemporary relevance. Clark masterfully blends geopolitical intrigue, social critique, and moral philosophy into a thrilling, thought-provoking piece of dystopian fiction, for a rewardingly multilayered novel that is packed with prescient insight about politics, the environment, and human purpose." -- Self-Publishing Review, 4.5 Stars
In 2050, a world without rare earth minerals runs like it's 1985.
And Thwaites -- the infamous Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica -- 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 will unleash 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 cut a new 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 left stranded in the icy wilderness, the countdown begins. A rare 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.
