Publisher: Publish America

“A reclusive polar ice researcher locates a doomsday fault that could allow the West Antarctic Ice Sheet-a mile-thick ice cube as big as Mexico-to slide off the continent and flood coastal cities. Millions of people worldwide would perish. This knowledge-and his heroics at a fateful traffic accident-puts him reluctantly under the scrutiny of media, law enforcement, and a band of environmental extremists desperate to make an obscure prophecy come true. Their cataclysmic objective seems terrifyingly believable-as does their plan to exterminate him, the only living witness to their scheme.”
