A research ship is adrift off the coast of Antarctica . . .
Weeks earlier, one of the crew messaged NUMA claiming to have made a world-shattering discovery. Followed by silence. Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are dispatched to the icy waters. They find a sinking ship, her crew murdered, the vessel ransacked - and one research scientist missing.
What was discovered? Who wanted it badly enough to kill everyone? And where did they vanish to?
One way or another Kurt s heading for Antarctica to learn the truth. But he won t just be risking sub-zero temperatures, avalanches and blizzards.
For someone is preparing to turn this secret discovery into a weapon of chilling power - unless Kurt can find them first . . .
