Thin Ice (Paperback or Softback)

For Natascha, a passionate young Marine Biologist, it is
the opportunity of a lifetime - to participate in a fourteen week
international scientific expedition onboard the Northern Explorer, but
the frigid waters of the North West Passage are the feeding ground for
international intrigue. Through discovering the state of marine life,
the expedition fights to confirm the dangers of global warming, but not
everyone wants the truth to come out. The Expedition Leader ignores
violence and death threats as the expedition proceeds with determination against their unknown enemy.

Under the protection of an elite security company, Natascha soon
realizes that they are not only in the cross hairs of corrupt politicians,
but also big oil companies - and that it is the wrong time to fall in love.

Too late, they realize the enemy not only has someone in their own
ranks, but ultimately will stop at nothing to follow an even more
lethal plan...and that their chances of survival are on thin ice...
