Arctic Rising

Global warming has nearly melted the Arctic ice cap, drastically altering the world's balance of power and sending nations into a race to claim the massive northern oil resources suddenly made accessible. When a nuclear weapon is smuggled into the Arctic Circle, airship pilot Anika Duncan of the United Nations Polar Guard attempts to chase down the culprits. Instead, she finds herself caught in the midst of a political struggle between the Gaia Corporation, which has an idea that might slow down global warming and possibly reverse the damage, and a secret group of corporations and military interests trying to profit from the newly emerging powers, which include Canada and the Inuit tribes. The author of Halo: The Cole Protocol delivers a fast-paced sf action thriller that presents a multifaceted look at the global warming crisis.
