Caves of Ice: Part 1

America is shrouded in ice. The outside temperature has dropped below Arctic levels, and people have no choice but to tunnel into the ice to create living spaces. In one of these communities, former Army Ranger Brad Jensen battles to keep his wife and young son alive. Attacks from predatory groups are a constant danger, and life in the tunnels means always keeping one eye open for attacks, and one hand holding the butt of a gun. Struggling to cling to life, and nothing could be worse. Until it gets worse.

An outbreak of a life-threatening disease strikes, and early on his son falls sick. Brad’s wife Scarlett, the community doctor, predicts he will die soon unless she can administer a vaccine to fight the disease. A drug only available in a distant city, buried deep beneath the ice. A city already occupied by feral men and women sworn kill anyone who enters.

Time is running out, and Brad Jensen faces his toughest challenge. To hack a new tunnel through the ice to reach the city, secure the drug and fight his way back in time to save his son. Caves of Ice is the first in an ongoing Beyond the Apocalypse series of short novels that chronicle the vicious aftermath of a climate disaster that threatens to destroy the world.
