Description
She already has survived months of solitary confinement, a forced swim with sharks and a scary journey to the South Pole. Now she’s a member of The 300 Club, an exclusive group of people on the planet who have endured a 300-degree temperature swing in a matter of seconds.
It’s all part of her training for a six-person, one-way mission to Mars.
Nikki wants to go, but not with The Bridge — a space-obsessed company that abducts, controls and violates people.
She wants to take a stand.
She wants to free her father, her former lover and herself.
And she’ll attempt it with the help of the young man who shot her seven years ago.
It’s a previously inconceivable alliance, bonded by polar extremes.

Advance Praise
“Ok … I want to say that I think this author has magic, sorcery, mind controlling powers. Every damn book in this series gets me so entranced with the storyline, a bomb could go off next to me and I wouldn't flinch. I literally get in a zone and block life around me out … Hence why when I started this 3rd book, I was smart enough to set up snacks and drinks on my kitchen counter for my 6 year old and said … you should be good for a while and then went and settled in. Whew … what a ride, I was sweating at times reading this latest book.
Nikki, Nikki, Nikki….how in gods green earth does she get herself in things like this??? The Bridge? OMG … pure evilness … evilness that I kinda love. The twists and things that come out of left field left me speechless … and if you know me at all … that is feat by itself!
Nikki has found herself in some hairy situations but this … it literally takes the cake. The Bridge feels that since going to Mars, the team needs to know what life will be like on the planet … sooooooo … they are sent to a few places for training … extreme training. And boy oh boy are there some shocking faces that return to train alongside the team. Faces that are forced to work together to survive. The description of some of these places and the extreme surroundings (especially the cold places) actually had me freezing and reaching for a blanket and a hot cup of coffee … thats how descriptive it was. There are some rather emotional moments that had me tearing up … some down right rotten times that had me screaming at my Kindle for vengeance and some angsty moments that had me twirling my hair until it literally came out of my head.
I want to know how this author thinks of the things that happen in this book … some are so complex and make some characters downright heinous, its purely brilliant. It answers questions you have been asking but fills your plate full with a whole brand new set. And Nikki … she is my freaking hero. Total bad ass chick.
Again…this book leaves off with you salivating for more and in a book coma … I swear it makes all books you read for awhile pale in comparison. Yet again … I’m on my knees praying to the literary gods to have the next installment soon!!!! One of my top 10 all time favorite series.”
— 4.5 stars from Goodreads reviewer Christine Sewatsky Cheff of Totowa, New Jersey"Another incredible journey from Chaucer!
This novel, the third in the Nikki series, is a fist in the face to the corrupt corporation known as 'The Bridge', it is the book all Nikki Blue fans have been waiting for!
Not only is the writing so engaging that you can't stop reading from the first sentence, we are introduced to intriguing and loveable new characters such as Sam or 'Snowbow', who really lift the darkness around Nikki's story.
A perfect third installation to this series, a quick, fast-paced read that leaves you thinking long after you have read the final page. Chaucer really makes you think about relationships, issues we are facing in today's society and shows us that there can be a silver lining for everyone if you look and try hard enough.
A great read!"
-- 5 stars from Julie Oakley, a Goodreads reviewer from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia
"The
Bridge is a masterful puppeteer sliding Nikki into a complexity of hard
choices played out against the harsh and beautiful landscape of
Antarctica. Not only must she fight the elements that threaten to make
the most sane mind lose touch with reality, but The Bridge forces her
life to collide with Thomas in such a way that kept me riveted.
How
long can you blame someone for their past mistakes? Does giving someone
a second chance make you a fool? Forgiveness and the ability to move on
is key to Nikki White. Jack Chaucer writes Thomas in such a way
that the dislike I felt for that character began to crumble away.
Everything isn't always what it seems to be and many times you got to
dig deeper to get at the truth."
-- 4 stars from Katie Sholty, Goodreads reviewer from Illinois
"It was fabulous. Another great work from Chaucer. This series is always in my top ten."

This is the 3rd book in the series, and I am late joining the party as its the first one I have read, I wish I'd read the others because I like Nikki and would enjoy reading more.This one was in a cool setting literally and was interesting,the pace was great and so was the story don't want to give much away but for me this book was well worth a read.Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the ARC in return for an honest review.

Nikki White Polar Extremes is the third book from the Nikki Series. I feel honored to review the entire series and now I can say this one is my favorite.
The book was full of twists and turns, which makes it more exciting to read. There were also heart stopping events on the first and last part of this book, it literally made me curse (i don't curse). LOL. Anyway, back to my review, Nikki stayed in South Pole for her Mars expedition training, I could say it wasn't easy -- I think I will die there though -- and the appalling part? her companion, I think that was the challenging part, Nikki was forced to be with him. They're the "chosen one" for this expedition but despite these tricky incidents, I ship them both! *fangirling*. Nikki here is more of a fighter, she changed a lot from book one.
I would love to reveal who I'm talking to so bad but I think it's better for you guys to find out. I'm still swooning between Nikki and that guy. This book left an open ending though it was a happy one.
Before I end this review, I would like to thank Jack Chaucer for trusting me this book. I loved every books, from Streaks of Blue, Nikki Blue: Source of Trouble and now this book, Nikki Blue: Polar Extremes. Every book was worth reading and I could say I enjoyed Nikki's adventures. She's the type of person who will fight for what's right and that's what I really love about her. So, once again, thank you Jack Chaucer, I'll be waiting for more Nikki stories. *hopefully there'll be more*
PS. it's hard not to spoil the readers!

When I first started this book, I didn't realize that it was part of a series. I was actually a little over halfway through before I was told by a friend that it was book 3! Man, I'd messed up! I kept reading though because, despite being the third book, I was invested in the story. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and the pacing was perfect to keep me engaged. So, now I need to go buy books one and two!
-Update now that I have read all three!
This was a continuation of the wild ride from book two. Nikki just gets herself into some weird places. I didn't know what to expect or where this was going and I certainly didn't expect that ending. Ok, no spoilers for this one so...just read it and enjoy the crazy!
Evelyn G, Reviewer
I read this without having read any of the other books in this series, and I enjoyed every second of it! I'm definitely going to be reading more books from this author in the future!
