Karen gives an overview of the book:

As he faces the frozen behemoth of a giant iceberg, environmental activist Ben Maki sees Earth’s future. Clean drinking water for millions of people, waiting to be tapped from the polar ice. The Solartech Corporation backs Ben’s grand philanthropic vision for a better today—while making its own plans for a very profitable tomorrow.   Rebecca Sweet lives for the cause—an eco-terrorist who will do whatever she must to protect the earth. And Ben Maki’s ideas have set her on the path to war… All of them will be drawn into a battle between hope and helplessness, power and pride. But they are about to discover that deep within the ice waits an enemy more deadly than any mankind could imagine---and an apocalyptic horror mankind may not survive.
