Burned out of their station, six desperate souls head out onto the ice for a three hundred mile trek in Antarctica's frozen winter to find rescue. In addition to the freezing cold, no food or medical supplies, the small group is running from a madman determine to prevent them from reaching their goal. One of the best books I've read in a while. Well written, exciting, a cliff-hanger. Please read!

Being an avid collecter of penguins and loving to read anything about Antartica, I opened this book after a long day of school and work and found myself reading past midnight. This is a new author and I hope he had many more books hidden in his mind.

A thriller set in Antarctica. Against her better judgement but by moral imperative, the leader of a research station abandons her work to rescue two adventurers stranded on the ice. Finding them and getting them home is only the start of the troubles. Their addition to the finely tuned team and the resulting problems make for a facinating pageturner.
