White Out

June 30, 1908. A 12-megaton explosion flattens 2000 square KM of Siberian Forest, setting off a deadly chain of event that pits soldier of fortune Cole Samson against Gregor Steltsen, a rogue oilman linked to a shadowy terrorist organization, in a deadly cat and mouse game across the frozen expanse of the Artic. Hired as security contractors, Samson and his team accompany Geologist Dr Alistair Minton and the crew of the experimental airship, Leviathan, as they search for a massive oil deposit below the ice of Lake Mackenzie, a frozen abyss shrouded in strange and sinister legends. The stakes rise with the discovery of a crashed Cold War bomber carrying a mysterious cargo, and Streltesn’s attempt to gain control of the dangerous payload. Aided by a deep undercover Russian agent, Cole must stop Streltsen before he can use the alien device for his own sinister purposes. Will Cole survive Gregor’s deadly trap?
White Out weaves the themes of ‘Man vs Man’, ‘Man vs nature’, and ‘Man vs himself’ into a fast-paced thriller about political conspiracy, futuristic technology, and the weaponing of science for geopolitical interests instead of mankind’s benefit. As international intrigue and personal struggle collide, the echoes of the past reverberate into a future hanging in the balance. White Out’s engaging, complex characters and thought-provoking themes will remain with you long after the book is finished.
