Black Ice

Matt Dickinson's first novel was set on Everest, which he has climbed. This brilliant thriller is set in Antarctica, which he also knows well (he almost died there), and reveals an overwhelming backdrop to a story of scientific breakthrough, disaster and extraordinary personal tensions.

'A ripping good adventure yarn with a thoroughly admirable heroine, a suitably black-hearted villain and such vivid descriptions of the sheer agony and awfulness of Antarctica you'll be reaching for the central heating switch as you read.'
