Synopsis

A discovery beneath the Pacific. A seismic event that defies science. A global disaster only one man can unravel.

When vast sections of the Arctic Ocean freeze solid in minutes — forming towering, transparent ice pyramids that defy every natural law, ex-CIA agent and geophysicist Alex Cave is drawn back into a crisis only he can confront.

What begins as an unexplained seismic anomaly soon reveals itself as something far more dangerous: an ancient alien device buried deep beneath Earth’s oceans — capable of freezing enormous volumes of seawater in a matter of minutes. As the ice sheet expands with terrifying speed, shattering ships, trapping entire crews, and altering regional weather patterns overnight, Alex races to uncover the source of the phenomenon and prevent a planetary catastrophe.

With the help of brilliant glaciologist Sonja Hanspevin, eccentric physicists, and his trusted allies, Alex must navigate political obstruction, competing agendas, and a rogue research faction led by the brilliant but dangerous Rita Harrow, whose reckless ambition turns the alien technology into a weapon. Whales frozen mid-motion beneath crystal ice, helicopters trapped by instant subzero temperatures, and rising sheets of transparent ice stretching for hundreds of miles.

A gripping blend of science, suspense, and nonstop action, Cold Energy is perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, James Rollins, Clive Cussler, A.G. Riddle, and fast-paced technothrillers.

À propos de l'auteur

James M. Corkill is a Veteran and retired Federal Firefighter from Washington State, USA. He was an electronic technician and studied mechanical engineering before eventually becoming a firefighter and retiring. He began writing in 1997, and was fortunate to meet a famous horror writer named Hugh B. Cave, who became his mentor. In 2002, he self-published a dozen copies of Dead Energy, just so his wife could see his book before she was taken by cancer. When his soul mate was gone, he stopped writing and began drinking heavily until 2013, when he met a stranger who recognized his name and had enjoyed an old copy of Dead Energy. When the stranger encouraged him to start writing again, he realized this chance meeting was just what he needed to hear at the right moment, and he quit drinking and began the rewrite of Dead Energy into The Alex Cave Series. He is now an award-winning author. His favorite television programs are the Science, History, and Discovery Channels. He subscribes to several science magazines, and he does extensive research for each of his stories to keep them as accurate and believable as possible.
