I received a free copy of this book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
An exciting, engrossing book. I enjoyed this story with its mystery, adventure, characters and plot. Plus, it is a fascinating tale of survival in inhospitable conditions.
Mitch Miller and his young daughter, Lilly find themselves on a ice flow in freezing cold Arctic. On their way home from Japan, the flight crashes into the ice and splits into two parts. Mitch and Lilly find themselves in the first-class pods where there is little food, light blankets and body numbing cold. Along with other surviving passengers they scrummage through suitcases for clothes, the plane’s kitchen for food and grabbing as many blankets as they can find. When the group tries to piece together what happened, they find they cannot remember. No one can remember. How is that possible?
That question becomes the first of many the survivors will face. Not the least of which is how to continue to survive. Thus, begins the adventure to live, the what happened mystery to solve, the who, and they why. All these questions have answers, but they are not to be easily solved. Mitch and a group of survivors set out through incredible odds to find answers while trying to stay alive. Nature and man seem to be working together to stop them from finding the answers.
This tale will have you on the edge of your seat. The characters are well-defined, believable, and likeable. The world is so realistic that I was freezing while reading it. I needed hot cocoa. This was decidedly one of the best books I’ve read in a while. Look for this Author if you want some good reads.

From the Publisher
The mystery begins on a routine flight from Hong Kong to New York, straight over the North Pole.
Mitch Matthews is a writer struggling to make ends meet when his wife's brother Josh offers him and his five-year-old Lilly first class seats.
Breaking the rules, Josh brings them up onto the flight deck halfway through. There's a strange magnetic anomaly messing with navigation, and a polar hurricane brewing over the Beaufort Sea that pushes them two hundred miles off course, deep over the Pole.
But everything is fine, right up until...
Within hours of Allied 695 disappearing, a massive international search is launched.
Global tensions rise.
No wreckage. No cries for help. No transponder signals. Something happened out there, a bizarre event beyond simply an accident.
Conspiracy theories rage over the internet. Media and grieving families whip into a frenzy as fingers point back and forth. The armed forces of America and Russia push toward the brink of war.
It becomes the job of lead investigator Richard Marks to uncover the truth before the world erupts into chaos, but his newly assigned partner--from a mysterious government agency--seems to be there more for spying than investigating.
Weeks Later. Found on the ice. A chance discovery.
A military search team uncovers an object deep in the Arctic. A notebook from one of the passengers on Allied 695. Handwriting analysis confirms that it's real.
Richard Marks secures the discovery back in Washington to begin reading the journal of Mitch Matthews, and it finally reveals the incredible truth...
About the author
Mankind is not causing the earth to warm up. The Sun does not need out help.
The story line was well written. I can't see how anyone could thank they could crash a big commmercial jet an expect anyone survive. Not only that the Artic ocean hasn't been completely frozen over for at least 500 years maybe even up to 1000years. All you have to do is ask yourself, what ocean did all the snow and rain come from? That covered all of Canad, and Northern Europe with Glaciers. The finally building when the earths see level went down about 400 feet. That was when no more warm water from the equator could get into the Artic ocean..The one thing you need to get rain and snow is warm water. The spends about 85% of its weather cycle in glacier ages. The earth oceans controls the earths weather.
