Wealthy entrepreneur Nigel Cain has devised an efficient new way to
bring the earth's most precious resource - clean water - to the
masses by transporting massive man-made icebergs from the frigid
arctic and delivering them literally to the doorsteps of millions.
Gabriel Pike works in a small engineering firm that has been handed
the chance of a lifetime - they have been chosen to give the final
safety approval to pilot the gigantic block of ice into New York
harbor. A consummate showman, Cain has built a fabulous 5-Star
hotel and casino high atop the iceberg so his celebrity guests and
media elite can cover this news-breaking event from beginning to
the end. Pike is whisked away and dumped in the lap of luxury where
he is expected by all too simply rubber-stamp his inspection. A
brutal winter storms ravages the iceberg and only through Pike's
quick thinking are they able to survive. But the storm reveals more
than Pike's ability to think on his feet, he makes some disturbing
discoveries and has serious doubts about the safety or the real
intentions of the project. A grisly double homicide on the ice puts
the inspections on the back burner and Pike's life is suddenly
spiraling out of control as he is accused of being the jealous
murderer in a lover's triangle. But Pike soon discovers that there
is far more than just his life on the line. He uncovers a
conspiracy more heinous than anything he could have imagined - a
plot that will level a city, change the political face of America
and whose shockwaves will be felt around the world. Now, if only he
can only survive long enough to stop it. Praise for ARCTIC FIRE "A
new twist on a classic battlefield ploy finds an iceberg controlled
by a megalomaniac on a collision course with NYC. A provocative
blend of fact and fiction that explores issues surrounding a
critical natural resource, fresh water, Arctic Fire is bound to
leave readers thirsty for more." - Rick Chesler, author of
kiDNApped and WIRED KINGDOM "Audacious and ambitious, Arctic Fire
burns with action, and chills with the possibilities of what the
future may hold. A thriller not to be missed " - Sean Ellis, author
of INTO the BLACK "A madman's insatiable quest for power could
level a major Ameri-can city and kill thousands, ushering in a New
World Order. Arctic Fire is a thrill-ride that will leave you
breathless." - Jeremy Robinson, bestselling author of INSTINCT and
THRESHOLD
