A widespread drought is causing murderous famine. There is one possible

explosives, could be moved south to parched coastlines and melted for

But before they can withdraw to the safety of their base camp - Edgeway
Station - a shattered tidal wave breaks loose the ice on which they are
working. Now they are hopelessly 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 Edgeway
scientists are further plagued by the discovery that one of them is a
ruthless killer hellbent on a strange mission of his own...
