Icebound
Extensive revision of Prison of Ice (1976).
A widespread drought is causing murderous famine. There is one possible
solution: Arctic ice could be moved south to parched coastlines and
melted for water.
In an Arctic icefield, a special team of
scientists has planted bombs that will detonate automatically at
midnight to break away some of the ice. Before they withdraw to the
safety of their base camp, a shattering tidal wave breaks loose the ice
on which they are working. Now they are marooned on an iceberg during
the worst winter storm of the decade.
The bombs in the ice beneath them are buried irretrievably deep... and ticking. Abruptly thrown into a desperate struggle for survival, the scientists are plagued by the discovery that one of them is a ruthless killer on a strange mission of his own...
