It's a race against time to uncover the cause of several mysterious deaths at an isolated Arctic research station . . . is it a killer virus, or something more sinister? A heart-stopping scientific thriller.
Four scientists stationed at an Arctic Research Center lie dead on the polar ice, their bodies contorted in grotesque postures, victims of a baffling and potent microscopic killer.
Poison, bio-terrorism, a lethal microbe or virus, a chemical accident? Will it spread and endanger the several hundred scientist/researchers stationed at Trudeau Station or, an even more frightening possibility, extend its deadly reach beyond this Arctic encampment?
As an epidemiological investigator is speedily airlifted in to probe the mystery, a Russian submarine races to rescue 100 sailors trapped on the ocean floor in a vessel that may also have been exposed. More die as the Arctic winter holds Trudeau Station in its lock-down grip. Only the revelation of one of the Cold War's most terrible secrets begins to provide answers.
