A climate fiction thriller of survival, discovery, and reckoning?with two timelines, one deadly secret, and Earth's last frontier.
In the year 2123, Earth is parched, privatized, and dying. Roscoe Slake thinks he's found his escape when he's accepted into a prestigious internship at StarCross Corporation. But instead of joining the elite in orbit, he's sent to the company archives?where Earth's last secrets are buried, not broadcast.
There, Roscoe uncovers logbooks from the 19th-century Ross Antarctic Expedition. The journals suggest the expedition uncovered something extraordinary in the polar ice. Something powerful. Something dangerous. If true, this discovery could change everything about humanity's fight for water?or doom it completely.
Shifting between the expedition's perilous past and Roscoe's unraveling present, Ice's End is a gripping eco-thriller and survival story that probes the edges of climate fiction, corporate conspiracy, and what we owe to both history and the future.
"What a wild ride. The speculative fiction elements are grounded, timely, and deeply moving."
?Avery Brooks, reviewer
"The kind of book that stays with you long after the last page. Both a taut adventure and a reflection on how we got here."
?Talia Nguyen, author of Strata Drift
Perfect for fans of Blackfish City, The Water Knife, and The Waste Tide, this speculative fiction debut combines near-future dystopia, Antarctic adventure, and a lost expedition mystery that may hold the key to Earth's survival.
