Fast Ice

di Lee Emerick (Autore)

Lee Emerick Publishing, 2026

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. The ice under the Nanook is older than the ocean it floats on. Captain Ingrid Voss-Halloran has three days to certify the Polar Gateway Corridor, a shipping lane across the top of the world that will cut weeks off the trip between Asia and Europe. Her owners have a convoy of seventeen thousand containers already on the way. Her own career rides on a clean signature. And ahead of her icebreaker, in water every chart calls open, sits a pressure ridge that should not exist. It starts as a number in an acoustics log: a tone below hearing, repeating every eleven seconds, filed as a faulty transducer. Then the ice stops breaking in plates and starts breaking like glass. The ship's clocks fall out of step with the satellites. Frost grows along the cable trays in lines that match the power schematic a little too well. Crew members start drawing the same shape on napkins, and two of them are found standing in the deck, ankle-deep in ice, awake and answering to their names. Aput Kanguq, the ice pilot, knows what his grandmother called a place like this. Dr. Priyanka Sethi, the glaciologist, has the data to prove him right. Marcus Deng, the project director, has a schedule, a good sum, and a father who taught him exactly how much a careful man can be wrong. And somewhere below them, something that has been waiting since before there was ice to wait under is only now beginning to notice who has come to visit. FAST ICE is a claustrophobic polar thriller for readers who like their horror cold, procedural and quietly enormous: a ship, a clock, seventy-four people, and the question of whether finishing anything out here was ever the right thing to want.
