Description
Expedition day: 152
Temperature: -69 DegreesC
Location: Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Deep field.
Situation: Bleak.
My name is Rachael, and I'm on a solo Antarctic expedition.
But a month ago I lost contact with basecamp.
No radio. No sat phones. Just static.
Only one thing has reached me: a BBC World Service broadcast, reporting a nuclear strike on the UK.
I'm safe for fourteen more days in my little hut at the bottom of the world. But I can't stay here forever, I have to find out what's happened.
Even if there's no one left to tell.
An intense survival-thriller debut set in the unforgiving Antarctic landscape. Breathless meets Shiver.
