Arctic Rising
Tobias S. Buckell (Halo: The Cole Protocol) imagines a near future Earth pushed to the brink of annihilation in the super-charged thriller, Arctic Rising.
Global warming has all but melted the Arctic Ice Cap, and it’s about to get even hotter. As the international community races to claim the massive oil fields beneath the now-accessible ocean, one corporation—Gaia Corp—has come up with a plan to roll the crisis back. With thousands of tiny mirrors floating in the air, they can create a giant sunshade capable of redirecting heat and cooling the earth’s surface. But in saving the planet from itself, Gaia Corp has created a superweapon like the world has never known.
Anika Duncan is an airship pilot for the underfunded United Nations Polar Guard, and she’s intent on capturing a nuclear weapon that has been smuggled into the Polar Circle. But she finds herself caught up in a plot by a cabal of military agencies and corporations who want Gaia Corp stopped. When Gaia Corp loses control of their superweapon, it will be Anika who must decide the future of the world...for the only thing that can stop the sunshade after it falls into the wrong hands is the nuclear weapon she has risked her life to find.
