A grieving young mother and recovering alcoholic, Andi Nowak flees high above Canada's Arctic Circle seeking peace and solace, but instead finds intrigue, danger and romance. Haunted by memories of her daughter, Andi ventures north to the remote town of Inuvik and a challenging career at Tuktu Aviation. The discovery of a rich kimberlite pipe near the small community creates a diamond-mining frenzy, and more flying for Tuktu. When Andi discovers that their Twin Otter aircraft are being used for unauthorized purposes, her queries to the flight crew are first nonchalantly, and later violently, dismissed. Andi enlists the aid of her new friend, local gallery owner and dog-sledding enthusiast, North Ruben. Together they plot a scheme to trace the aircraft's mysterious movements, but their plan backfires with devastating - and deadly - results. Fear and anger spark Andi's ravaged emotions, and although she resists, her friendship with North heats with passion she never thought possible....

Excerpt from The Open Polar Sea: A Narrative of a Voyage of Discovery Towards the North Pole, in the Schooner "United States" The interest which has been freshly awakened in the progress of Arctic discovery by the recent expeditions towards the North Pole has appeared to justify my experienced publisher in issuing a new edition of this work, about which it may not be inappropriate to observe here, as in the Preface to the former edition, that, rather than confine myself strictly to a record of scientific investigations, I have aimed, so far as the narrative would allow, to bring before the mind of the reader a general picture of the strange life and sublime scenery of a quarter of the world to which we have all been drawn, from childhood, by the ever-powerful charm of the mysterious and unknown.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I stood on the frozen ocean 20 miles off Cape Mamen, Mackenzie King Island, and looked at the moon reflected in the sea ice. The sky had no depth because of the fullness of the moon, but stars shone brightly. #2 The Arctic was seen as an inhospitable place by the Old World, but by the Greeks it was a land of rich lacustrine soils, gentle breezes, and fecund animals. The inhabitants of Hyperborea were thought to be the oldest of the human races and to be comparable with the land itself. #3 The North Magnetic Pole is located at 77°N 120°W, some 30 miles east of Edmund Walker Island in the southern end of the Findlay Group. The North Geomagnetic Pole, around which the earth’s magnetic field and its magnetosphere are theoretically arranged, lies about 500 miles east of the North Magnetic Pole in northern Greenland. #4 The sun’s arctic movement is difficult to understand because our thought about it has been fixed for tens of thousands of years. We don’t think in three dimensions, and it is difficult to imagine the sun’s arctic movement because our minds have been trained to understand the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

Hitler's Nazis as well as the Allies knew that Greenland's white expanse was a virtual weather factory that played a key role in the day-to-day weather of the North Atlantic shipping lanes and the battlefields of western Europe. Ironically, few people today even realize that American troops were stationed in Greenland during World War II or what obscure role these troops played.
