Black ice - Matt Dickinson

Set in Antarctica – an ultra-contemporary thriller about an astonishing scientific breakthrough threatened by a psychotic explorer.

With its overwhelming Antarctic backdrop this is a thrilling story of scientific breakthrough, disaster and extraordinary personal tensions. From the outside Julian Fitzgerald is a traditional British hero, an expedition leader to the extremes of the earth and a PR dream. But his latest challenge in Antarctica has gone badly wrong – and a call for help which is not as it seems brings him into contact with a group of scientists who have uncovered a remarkable secret deep in the core of the continent. As Fitzgerald’s true nature is revealed, the lives of the whole base are at risk – together with a dramatic ecological discovery that could transform human knowledge.
