Book Description:
How can a single glacier grow dramatically while hundreds are shrinking around the world?
This paradox confronts a young glaciologist Kate Landry as she looks down at her research site buried under shocking mounds of new snow. Little does she know that Mount Olympus is in the bulls-eye for a sophisticated geoengineering experiment being conducted by a scientist who has convinced a secretive international oil cartel to fund his dubious climate modification techniques. While Kate struggles to understand why the glacier is growing and begins to unravel the entire nefarious scheme, she also struggles to avoid the unraveling of her developing relationship with social psychologist Grant Poole. The more Kate uncovers on the glacier, the more her own life is at risk. Can she expose the unethical and dangerous geoengineering operation without being caught before she’s stopped? And at what risk to her life?

Book Review:
Kate is a glaciologist (what a cool job!!!). For the past several years she has been monitoring the changes in Blue Glacier in the Washington State Mountains. She runs into Grant, who is also studying the area but not for the same reasons. He wants to use his methods to show a reverse in climate change, even when it’s not there. This book is a fairly quick read and is full of danger, adventure, lies, determination, and strong characters. I enjoyed this book and the excellent writing that made me feel as if I was in the cold with the characters. Definitely worth a read!!
