Description

Blood, Fire and Ice takes you into the realm of corporate terrorism. The Global Association of Petroleum Producers resorts to murder, sabotage and political bribery to prevent the development of an abundant new fuel source that threatens their existence.

Members of an international Arctic research team developing this new fuel source are targeted and labs are destroyed. At the request of three senators who are on the payroll of "big oil", Canadian team members have their funding cancelled at the request of three Senators who are on the payroll of "Big Oil". Local police ignore their pleas for help when some are murdered but the rest are rescued in a joint CIA-FBI operation seeking to protect the new technology. Once surviving team members are whisked to safety they are recruited to complete their project jointly funded by Japan, Russia and an American scientific foundation. Sabotage continues with a seaborne attack on an offshore drilling platform off Japan and blocking attempts countering patent filings. The Japanese government considers itself at war with oil interests. A blackmailing Canadian Senator is killed by "big oil" and his legacy of secrets is a ticking bomb waiting for discovery threatening both the Canadian government and the oil association. All hell breaks loose when the secrets surface.
