Items related to From Ice to Ashes
Who would expect a terrorist inltration of Alaska on foot in winter? No one, until it happens. From Ice to Ashes propels the reader off-road and into the frozen Northland on the course of the Yukon Arctic Ultra the toughest and coldest human-powered race on earth.
For race official Markus Fanger and his reluctant helper, Donjek Stoneman, a brief lull at their checkpoint shatters when Muslim racer Omar Ahmed arrives, battered and blue. In short order, Fanger and Donjek discover the extreme athlete is also an extreme militant. From Dawson City, Yukon, to Fort Greely, Alaska, the race is on to defend northern sovereignty. Against a backdrop of the North's beauty and brutality, within the tension of a daring endurance race, it's up to the local heroes to keep a terrorist from his target, ground-based missile defenses.

Review:
"From Ice to Ashes is a welcome addition to Arctic fiction; the terrain and weather are as treacherous as the multi-faceted antagonist. Simon is a promising new author and I look forward to her next book."--Jan Harper Haines, author of Cold River Spirits"Jessica Simon catapults her characters on a trailblazing trip over The Top of the World, from Canada's Yukon into Alaska. A real page-turner!"--Shirlee Smith Matheson, author of the Flying the Frontiers series"Packed with thrills. Markus Fanger makes a perfect modern hero as he and a young offender head off a terrorist threat designed to shoot ice down your spine." --Lou Allin, author of the Belle Palmer Mysteries
