Description

What is really at stake with global warming? The Arctic ice caps are breaking up. Europe and the East Coast of the Unites States brace for a tidal wave. Meanwhile, former French intelligence officer John Spencer Larivière, his karate-trained, steamy Eurasian partner, Victoire, and their computer-genius sidekick, Luc, pick up an ordinary freelance assignment that quickly leads them into the heart of an international conspiracy. Off the coast of Greenland, a ship belonging to the French geological research firm Terre Noire is in serious trouble. The murder of an important scientist jeopardizes evacuation. On land another killer is roaming the icy peaks after researchers, while a huge crevasse splits Greenland apart. In the glacial silence of the great north, a merciless war is being waged. Global warming and subsequent natural disasters hide international rivalries over discoveries that will change the future of humanity.

Advance Praise

“Bernard Besson takes the eco-thriller to a whole new level in his spectacular The Greenland Breach. Masterfully paced and wondrously prescient, here is a cautionary tale where colorful characters battle both man and nature in trying to save the planet from a combination of the two. Equal parts Clive Cussler and Michael Crichton, it is a terrific story that charges out of the gate and speeds in relentless fashion to a wholly satisfying finish.” –Jon Land, bestselling author of Strong Rain Falling

“Original and harrowing.” –Cosmopolitan

“This is cousin to thoughtful works such as Buckell’s Arctic Rising, but the narrative’s tone and tendency toward grand spectacle resembles more lurid thrillers like The Day After Tomorrow...Besson constructs a complex plot and confidently portrays the grandiosity as it unfolds.” –Publishers Weekly

“For those who enjoy a rollercoaster of a ride with thrills galore, this book certainly delivers… For the James Bond fan, there are plenty of sophisticated gadgets, fiendishly complex puzzles and clever use of technology. However, the aspect of the novel which I most enjoyed was that, if you look beneath the glossy, high-paced surface, there is a thought-provoking plea to re-examine the way we live and act today. Global warming is but one of the culprits in this story. Corporate and personal greed, national pride, inflated egos and lack of concern for the future of humanity are all equally to blame. Yet the author conveys this message without any preaching, simply by recounting an exciting adventure.” --Crime Fiction Lover
