Icebound: Dean Koontz

A widespread drought is causing murderous famine. There is one possible solution: giant masses of Arctic ice, split from the polar pack by high explosives, could be moved south to parched coastlines and melted for water. In an Arctic ice field, a special team of eight scientists has planted sixty powerful bombs that will detonate automatically at midnight. But before they can withdraw to the safety of their base camp - Edgeway Station - a shattering tidal wave breaks loose the ice on which they are working, leaving them hopelessly marooned on an iceberg during the worst winter storm in a decade. The bombs, buried irretrievably deep beneath them in the ice, are ticking...And in the midst of a desperate struggle for survival, the scientists discover that one of them is a ruthless killer on a strange mission of his own...Cover art by Chris Moore.
